NON-PLENARY SESSIONS

Submission deadline June 1

 

SE17 is a dynamic space of intellectual exchange. In recent years the Society has been experimenting with non-traditional session formats that foster a convivial, anti-hierarchical atmosphere that prizes intellectual exchange while enabling a greater number of scholars to participate in the conference. It is in that spirit that we solicit proposals for the following non-plenary sessions, some of which will be open to all conference attendees and some of which will be closed, small-group sessions during which participants can get targeted feedback on research-in-progress.

N.B. Please note that proposals for all non-plenary sessions will be reviewed (and workshop groups finalized) following the plenary session selection process. All are welcome and encouraged to submit proposals, individually or as a group, but preference will be given to those who are not presenting in plenary sessions.

 

 

I. Pedagogy

This year’s pedagogy session will be organized as a series of short, 5-minute flash presentations to privilege discussion and exchange. Speakers at various stations will present their pedagogical insights, ideas, and challenges to small groups, followed by discussion. Attendees will then circulate to another station at the designated time to hear other flash presentations. Speakers should thus be prepared to give their 5-minute flash presentation several times in a row. The goal of these flash presentations will be to spark conversation and share new ideas around teaching as an ever-evolving practice. To name just a few possibilities, a speaker might share an activity that worked well in class, an assignment that they are trying to fine tune, a new text that they have incorporated in a course, or a new pedagogical method, tool, question, or challenge.

Those interested in giving a flash presentation should send a 250-300 word abstract in English or French to SE172023@gmail.com by June 1. Please include “Pedagogy” in the subject line of your email.

 

II. Reading Groups and Open Workshops

[Virtual participation in these groups will also be possible for a significantly reduced nominal registration fee.]

 

Reading Group sessions will center on a set of common primary or secondary readings. Participants will commit to reading chosen readings posted in advance of the conference and to attending a moderated group discussion during the conference in Rochester. These sessions will be open to all conference participants. Participants will have a chance to indicate interest in attending these sessions when registering for the conference.

Please send any suggestions for other themes or sets of readings to SE172023@gmail.com by June 1 with “Reading Groups” in the subject line.

 

Open Workshops provide space to work together, exchange ideas, and share expertise on a chosen theme or question. We imagine they may focus on specific pedagogical projects, such as devising a syllabus or teaching a particular text, on research techniques or technologies, or on the development of professional skills such as writing a book proposal or organizing research material. These sessions will be open to all conference participants. Participants will have a chance to indicate interest in attending these sessions when registering for the conference.

Please send your suggestions for workshop ideas to SE172023@gmail.com by June 1 with “Open Workshops” in the subject line.

 

III. Work-in-progress Workshops (Closed Sessions)

[Virtual participation in these groups will also be possible for a significantly reduced nominal registration fee.]

 

In these sessions, small groups will read short samples of each other’s work-in-progress in advance of the conference and discuss them in person in Rochester. Work shared in these sessions might consist of book proposals, articles, book chapters. Proposals may come from individuals or groups. Individual proposals will be organized into groups by session chairs based on areas of interest, methodology, or other commonalities between the projects. Alternatively, a preexisting group of up to four people may submit a collective proposal. In this latter case, proposals should be submitted by a designated group leader who will include a list of other members. Please note that these works-in-progress workshop sessions will be open only to the members of each group.

 

Those interested in sharing work in this venue should submit a 250-300 word abstract of the project describing its topic and aims and a brief bio in English or French to SE172023@gmail.com by June 1 with “Works-in-Progress Workshops” in the subject line.

 

Work-in-progress participants will need to submit drafts of their materials to the co-chairs by September 20, 2023. The co-chairs will distribute them among the subgroups so that each group can prepare for the workshop discussions to be held during the conference. 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 (e.g.. a book chapter), you should identify a section of the work for your colleagues to focus on.

 

 

SÉANCES NON-PLÉNIÈRES

Date limite pour les propositions le 1er juin

 

La SE17 se veut un espace d’échange intellectuel dynamique. Dans les années récentes la Société s’est ainsi engagée à mettre en place des formats de séance non-traditionnels afin d’encourager un climat convivial et non-hiérarchique qui met en valeur l’échange intellectuel et permet à un plus grand nombre de chercheurs de participer au colloque. C’est dans cet esprit que nous sollicitons des propositions pour les séances non-plénières ci-dessous. Quelques-unes seront ouvertes à toutes les personnes qui assistent au colloque et d’autres seront limitées à des petits cercles de chercheurs·euses afin de faciliter la discussion des travaux en cours.

N.B. Veuillez noter que les propositions pour ces séances non-plénières ne seront évaluées qu’après la sélection des communications pour les séances plénières. Tou·te·s sont encouragé·e·s à soumettre, individuellement ou collectivement, une proposition pour les séances non-plénières, mais les propositions des personnes qui ne présentent pas au sein d’une séance plénière seront privilégiées.

 

I. Pédagogie

Cette année, la séance pédagogique consistera en une série de brèves présentations Flash de 5 minutes. Un certain nombre de communicant.e.s animeront des stations autour de la salle pour présenter leurs idées et défis pédagogiques en petits groupes afin d’en discuter. Les participant.e.s circuleront de station en station pour écouter plusieurs présentations Flash. Les communicant.e.s donneront donc leur présentation de 5 minutes à plusieurs reprises. L’objectif de ce format est de partager de nouvelles idées au sujet de la mise en pratique de nouvelles pédagogies. Par exemple, les communicant·e·s pourraient présenter une activité réussie, un devoir reformulé, un nouveau texte incorporé dans un cours, une nouvelle méthode, un outil, une question, ou un défi pédagogique.

Celles et ceux qui veulent proposer une présentation Flash devraient envoyer d’ici le 1er juin à SE172023@gmail.com un résumé de 250-300 mots en français ou en anglais. Veuillez indiquer “Pédagogie” dans l’objet de votre message.

 

II. Groupes de lecture et Ateliers ouverts

[La participation virtuelle à ces séances sera également possible pour des frais d’inscription réduits].

 

Les Groupes de lecture porteront sur un ensemble de textes sources ou critiques. Les participant.e.s s’engagent à lire les textes choisis qui seront téléchargés avant le colloque et à assister à une séance de discussion pendant le colloque à Rochester. Ces séances seront ouvertes à tou·te·s les participant.e.s du colloque. Lors de l’inscription au colloque, les participant·e·s auront la possibilité de signaler leur désir de participer à ces groupes de lecture.

Veuillez envoyer les suggestions de thèmes ou lectures d’ici le 1er juin à SE172023@gmail.com. Indiquez “Groupes de lecture” dans l’objet de votre message.

 

Les Ateliers ouverts offrent un espace pour travailler en commun, échanger des idées et partager son expertise sur un thème ou une question spécifique. Ces séances se focaliseront sur des projets pédagogiques particuliers tels que la création d’un syllabus, l’enseignement d’un texte particulier, des techniques et technologies pour nous aider dans nos recherches, ou sur le développement de compétences professionnelles telles que l’écriture d’une proposition de livre ou l’organisation des recherches. Ces séances seront ouvertes à tou·te·s les participant.e.s du colloque. Lors de l’inscription au colloque, les participant·e·s auront la possibilité de signaler leur désir de participer à ces ateliers ouverts.

Veuillez envoyer des suggestions de thèmes ou lectures d’ici le 1er juin à SE172023@gmail.com. Indiquez “Ateliers ouverts” dans l’objet de votre message.

 

III. Ateliers de travaux en cours (séances fermées)

[La participation virtuelle à ces séances sera également possible pour des frais d’inscription réduits].

 

Dans ces sessions, un petit cercle de chercheurs lit les travaux en cours des uns et des autres avant le colloque et se réunit à Rochester pour en discuter en personne. Les travaux partagés dans ces séances peuvent prendre de nombreuses formes, y compris une proposition de livre, un article en cours ou le chapitre d’un livre. Il est possible de soumettre une proposition individuelle ou collective. Les président.e.s de ces séances organiseront ensuite les ateliers selon le domaine de recherche, la méthodologie ou d’autres éléments communs des travaux en cours. Alternativement, un groupe jusqu’à un maximum de quatre personnes peut soumettre une proposition collective. Dans ce dernier cas, une personne désignée doit soumettre la proposition avec les noms des autres membres du groupe.

 

Celles et ceux qui veulent participer à ces ateliers de travaux en cours devront envoyer d’ici le 1 juin au plus tard à SE172023@gmail.com un résumé de 250-300 mots en français ou en anglais et une brève biobibliographie. Veuillez indiquer “Ateliers de travaux en cours” dans l’objet de votre message.

 

Les participant.e.s devront soumettre le 20 septembre au plus tard leur texte en cours aux président.e.s de ces sessions qui les distribueront aux sous-groupes pour que chaque groupe puisse se préparer pour les discussions qui auront lieu lors du colloque. Pour faciliter la préparation de tou·te·s, veuillez limiter votre texte à 20 pages maximum. Si le texte intégral est plus long (ex. le chapitre d’un livre), veuillez indiquer la partie sur laquelle vos collègues devraient se concentrer.

SATURDAY 

21 OCT.

*Indigenous Material Culture Workshop Audience Courtesy Guidelines:  

We ask that questions be held until the end of the program or until the presenter opens the floor for them. 

In Haudenosaunee tradition, only one person speaks at a time. This shows respect for the speaker and is important  so that everyone hears the same words. 

In Haudenosaunee tradition, speakers stand when asking questions or presenting; we encourage you to as well. It is  a formal way of showing respect to your audience and a great way to project your voice. 

We ask that the audience is prepared to listen with no distractions. 

We ask that if objects are passed around that they be handled with care and that they be passed along quickly so that  everyone has a chance to study them. 

We ask that no False Face masks or Snapping Turtle rattles or images of such objects be on display in the room.  They are considered sacred images and can be offensive to Haudenosaunee people when they are misused. 

*Directives de courtoisie du public pour l’Atelier cultures matérielles  autochtones: 

Veuillez garder vos questions jusqu’à la fin du programme ou jusqu’à ce que le présentateur ouvre la discussion. 

Dans la tradition Haudenosaunee, une seule personne parle à la fois. Cela montre du respect pour l’orateur et est  important pour que tout le monde entende les mêmes mots. 

Dans la tradition Haudenosaunee, les orateurs se tiennent debout lorsqu’ils posent leurs questions ou font une  présentation. Nous vous encourageons de faire ainsi. C’est une manière formelle de montrer du respect envers votre  public et un excellent moyen de projeter votre voix. 

Soyez prêt.e.s à écouter sans distractions. 

Si des objets circulent, il faut les manipuler avec précaution et les transmettre rapidement afin que tout le monde  puisse avoir la possibilité de les étudier.  

Veuillez ne pas afficher de Faux Masques ou de hochets de Tortue Serpentine ou d’images de tels objets. Ceux-ci  sont considérés comme des images sacrées et peuvent offenser les personnes Haudenosaunee quand ils sont mal  utilisés.

Conference Funding

 

SE17 Conference Funding Request Form | Formulaire de demande de bourse de voyage)

 

SE17 is committed to supporting our members who do not receive sufficient funding from their home institutions or other sources to cover the costs of attending our annual conference, and who would be unable to attend without additional funding. Funding for these grants comes from member donations and annual dues. They are intended for colleagues whose participation without this support would represent a financial hardship. 

 

Eligibility:

 

We welcome applications from all members whose financial resources are insufficient to cover the expenses of SE17 conference attendance. Graduate students are especially encouraged to apply, but part-time faculty, full-time faculty, retired faculty and independent scholars may all apply for funding to reimburse a portion of their travel expenses based on demonstrated need. These expenses may include registration fees, transportation and hotel. Neither the annual membership dues nor meals beyond those paid for as part of conference registration will be reimbursed, though all expenses must be listed. The maximum grant amount is $500. While all conference participants are welcome to apply, priority will be given to graduate students and early career scholars, to individuals who present at the conference and who do not receive funding from their home institution or other entities for conference attendance, and to those who did not receive funding from SE17 for the previous year’s conference. Please note that funding is not guaranteed and is contingent on the availability of funds, the number of applications received, and the Executive Committee’s decision.

 

Process:

 

Applicants must secure their own travel and hotel arrangements and conference registration.

 

Applicants must submit the completed Conference Funding Request Form electronically. There are two application deadlines, one for pre-conference funding and one for post-conference funding. Those wishing to receive the grant before the conference must apply by the date of August 1 preceding the conference. Conference participants may also apply for funding following the conference, up until October 31, with the understanding that funding opportunities may be more limited post-conference. 

 

Please note that the Conference Funding Request Form requires the applicant to

upload a brief statement (PDF format) from a department chair or dean, written on letterhead, that indicates the sum of annual institutional funds available to the applicant (a PDF of an email from the administrator, as long as it contains the person’s university email address, is also acceptable). We also require documentation of any other sources of support (research funds, government funding, other professional society grants, foundations, etc.) 

 

If applicants are requesting funding beyond the conference registration fee, they must provide  copies of receipts for transportation and hotel expenses in a single PDF which they upload via the Conference Funding Request form. If applicants travel by car, they must indicate the departure city and total mileage to be reimbursed. It is not necessary to submit a receipt for the conference registration fee. All amounts should be listed in US dollars. To convert currency for the date of purchase, please use this currency converter.

 

The Executive Committee will review all applications shortly after the Aug. 1 (pre-conference) and October 31 (post-conference) deadlines and will notify candidates by e-mail of their decision within 30 days of each deadline, granted that all required documentation has been submitted via the Conference Funding Form. 

 

Successful applicants will receive a PayPal payment in American dollars shortly following notification. 

 

Questions may be addressed to SE17 Treasurer Deborah Steinberger (steind@udel.edu).
