AAA is accepting a limited number of Late-Breaking sessions for the 2017 Annual Meeting that are topical, timely, and especially relevant to current events.
Criteria
Presentations must offer findings that were not available until after the April 18, 2017 general call for papers submission deadline.
Applicants may submit late-breaking abstracts even if they have had another abstract accepted for presentation, but abstracts submitted prior to the submission deadline may not be resubmitted.
Topical themes are
- Cultural Heritage Protection
- Global Health
- Police Brutality and Race
- Politics
- Migration
- Science under Attack
- Other
Proposal Category
There are three formats for Late-Breaking Sessions: Oral Presentation, Roundtable, and Individual Gallery (formerly Poster Sessions). If you are submitting as a group of four to seven people, you may choose either the Oral or Roundtable Proposal Category. If you are submitting as an individual, you must choose the Individual Gallery Proposal Category.
