• Each panel/workshop page shows a title and abstract and the names of its convenors. It does not show convenor email addresses, for anti-spam reasons. If you wish to contact the convenors directly, click on the email links to use an in-built email messaging system. If you cannot work that, please email congress(at)siefhome.org to obtain relevant email addresses.
• Panel/workshop convenors have been asked to make their decisions over which papers to accept by 15 November. They will email you. Accepted abstracts will then show on the panel/workshop page.
