HOW TO SUBMIT

To submit your proposal, please fill in this online submission form. You will be asked:

  • the session of your choice (see the list below);
  • the title of your talk and an abstract of a maximum of 5000 characters (approximately 1000 words);
  • your contact details (full name, e-mail, post address and affiliation) and those of your co-author/s, if any;

Abstracts must be submitted in English. The official languages of the conference, however, are Italian, English, and French; for each session, languages will be used depending on the participants composition.

If you like (we would like!), also send a short video talk (2 min. max.) to erq.ethno.conf.soc@unitn.it. It should not necessarily be a piece of what your proposed talk would be, but a sort of teaser trailer for it, and a piece of you too. By sending the video, you thereby allow the organizing committee to upload the video at its discretion, in full or cut form, on the youtube channel of Etnografia e Ricerca Qualitativa.

Proposal must be submitted by January 23 , 2023.

Acceptance of proposals will be notified by March 13, 2023.

Contributors must register by April 26, 2023, to be included in the programme.
