Registration fees

Lova invites scholars to participate in this international conference by presenting their research in a panel or as an individual paper.

We encourage participants to submit audio-visuals and other alternative ways of presenting their research too. We also encourage student (under-graduate and graduate) to present their research. Participants may register by sending panel proposals and individual paper abstracts to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it before February 1st, 2011. Participants will be informed in due time after having submitted their abstracts whether or not their panels and/or papers have been accepted.

Panel proposals include a short panel abstract (about 200 words), several paper abstracts, and names of organizers/chairs, presenters and a possible discussant. Please also mention the affiliation, address, email-address and discipline of each participant.

Preferred panel format:  Panels last 1 hour and 45 minutes. Panel organizers have a certain freedom in the number of papers they wish to present and the length of the presentations. Nevertheless, we encourage 15 to 20 minute paper presentations with 3 - 4 speakers in one session, so that there is time for discussion after the presentations.

Individual paper proposals should not exceed 200 words. Please also mention affiliation, address, email-address and discipline.
