There are three ways to get to the Holiday Inn Charlotte Center City from the airport.

1. By Bus: 

While waiting for the completion of the West Corridor Streetcar project, the Charlotte Area Transit Authority (CATS) has put together an enhanced bus service to connect the International Airport to Center City. These hybrid-electric buses pick up passengers every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on nights and weekends in front of the baggage claim Zone D. Fare is $2.20 each way. The bus makes multiple stops before arriving at the Charlotte Transportation Center, which is located three blocks from the Holiday Inn.

Instructions – Français 

Chaque groupe se réunira une fois le jeudi 10 octobre (9h-11h) et une fois le vendredi 11 octobre (11h30-14h). Nous espérons que ces séances vous permettront d’avoir un forum soutenu pour discuter et échanger vos idées, à la fois pour garantir un terrain d’entente dans vos recherches et pour donner et solliciter des réactions de votre travail en cours. Pour que ce format fonctionne, il est essentiel que vous assistiez aux deux séances de votre groupe.  

 

Par ailleurs, il est important que vous mainteniez une présence active au colloque. La tradition des séances plénières de la SE17 est très importante pour nos membres.

 

En tant que participant·e dans les ateliers, vous vous engagez à : 
 

- partager votre travail avec votre group avant le jeudi 19 septembre. Il ne s’agit pas d’envoyer un manuscrit fini mais un travail en cours pour que les réactions des collègues puissent vous être utiles. Afin que la préparation de l’atelier soit faisable pour tout le monde, nous vous prions de limiter votre contribution à 20 pages, maximum. Si le texte que vous soumettez dépasse les 20 pages (e.g., chapitre de livre), identifiez la partie du texte qui bénéficiera le plus des réactions de vos collègues. 
- lire le travail de vos collègues avant le début des ateliers.

- assister aux deux séances, ce qui veut dire que vous devriez arriver à Charlotte jeudi matin au plus tard, mais idéalement mercredi soir,pour assister au premier atelier jeudi à 9h. 

 

La logistique :

 

            - C’est à vous de décider la manière dont vous organisez votre groupe.

- Nous vous suggérons de créer un dossier dans Google Drive (nous sommes heureux·se de le faire pour vous si vous le souhaitez) ou un dossier dans DropBox.

- Le format précis est à vous de décider en groupe. Vous pourriez choisir de discuter brièvement les travaux de tout le monde pendant les deux séances, assigner à chaque participant·e une séance pour la discussion de leur travail, etc.

 

 

Instructions – English 

Each group will meet once on Thursday, October 10 (9-11am) and once on Friday, October 11 (11:30am-2pm). We hope that these two sessions will provide a more sustained forum for the exchange of ideas: both for seeking common ground in your research, and for giving and soliciting feedback on your work in its early stages. For the format to work, it is essential that you attend both meetings of your group.

It is also important that you maintain an active presence at the rest of the conference. The plenary tradition of SE17 is very important to our society's membership.

 

As participants in the workshop, you commit to:
 

-sharing your work with your group by Thursday, September 19. This does not have to be a finished manuscript, but a work in progress, at a stage where feedback from colleagues would be helpful. To make workshop preparation feasible for everyone, please limit what you share to no more than 20 pages. If the piece you would like feedback on is longer (a book chapter), you should identify a section of the work for your colleagues to focus on.
-reading your colleagues’ work in time for the conference.
-attending both workshop sessions. (this means you must arrive in Fribourg by Thursday morning at the latest, but ideally by Wednesday evening, in order to attend the first workshop at 9am on Thursday. 

 

Logistics:

-How you organize your group is up to you. 

-We suggest either a Google Drive folder (We are happy to set that up for participants if you’d like) or a DropBox folder. 
-The precise format of your workshop is up to you as a group. You might choose to discuss everyone’s work briefly both days, assign each participant a session for discussion of their work, etc.
