Abstracts are invited for paper sessions and round tables by September 19, 2025. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted directly to the chairs, along with the applicant’s name, email address, professional affiliation, address, telephone number and a short curriculum vitae (maximum one page).
Sessions (2 hours)
Sessions will consist of 4-5 papers, with time for dialogue and questions at the end. Presentations should be limited to 15–20 minutes each. For example, a session with 4 papers may allow up to 20 minutes per presentation, while a session with 5 papers should limit each to 15–18 minutes. Abstracts for presentations should define the subject and summarize the argument to be presented in the proposed paper. The content of that paper should be the product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical and interpretative rather than descriptive in nature.
Round Tables (2 hours)
Round tables will consist of five to ten participants and an extended time for dialogue, debate and discussion among chair(s) and public. Each discussant will have 5-10 minutes to present a position. Abstracts for round table debates should summarize the position to be taken in the discussion.
Papers may not have been previously published, nor presented in public. Only one submission per author will be accepted. No participant may serve both as a chair of a session or round table and as a speaker or discussant in another session or round table. Members of the EAHN board may submit proposals to sessions or roundtables.
All abstracts will be held in confidence during the selection process. In addition to the thematic sessions and round tables listed below, open sessions may be announced. With the author’s approval, thematic session chairs may choose to recommend for inclusion in an open session an abstract that was submitted to, but does not fit into, a thematic session.
Session and round table chairs will notify all authors of the acceptance or rejection of their proposals, along with comments, by 21 November 2025. Chairs reserve the right to recommend revisions to abstracts to better align them with the session or round table program. Accepted speakers must submit their revised abstracts to the chairs by 19 December 2025.
