Call for Submissions to the 2008 APA Convention
Chris Robert
University of Missouri-Columbia
Online call for submissions open until Monday, December 3, 2007
Hear ye, hear ye! We want your submissions to the 2008 APA Convention to be held in historic Boston, MA, from Thursday, August 14 to Sunday, August 17. Whether you come by land or by sea (or by air), we would like to see a strong showing of SIOP members and to hear about your work!
If you submitted a proposal to SIOP for the April 2008 conference, you might recall that you were able to choose whether you wanted your SIOP conference submission to be considered for presentation at APA if it was not accepted for SIOP. If you selected that option and your submission is accepted for presentation at APA, we will be getting in touch with you in December, after the SIOP conference submission decisions are finalized. You do not need to resubmit your proposal again to APA.
If you did not submit anything to APA during the SIOP submission process, you can still participate in the APA convention! The SIOP program at APA will be created from your submissions of posters, symposia, tutorials, conversation hours, panel discussions, and other formats you wish to propose. Individual paper presentation submissions may be combined with other papers to form paper sessions on a common topic. Cross-cutting proposals from multiple divisions are especially encouraged to facilitate interaction between SIOP and other APA divisions.
For the complete Call for Proposals and guidelines for submission formats, visit the APA Convention Web site: www.apa.org/convention. All submissions (except those considered first for the SIOP conference) must be received online via the APA Web site by Monday, December 3, 2007 to be considered for acceptance. Submissions will be considered from APA and/or SIOP members or from individuals sponsored by an APA or SIOP member.
Questions may be directed to the Division 14 Program Chair, Chris Robert, at robertc@missouri.edu.
