Social Theory, Politics and the Arts Conference Guidelines
Panel presentations
· Each panel typically has four or five papers/presentations. Each presenter will have 15 minutes to present their work and once all presentations have been completed there will be an open question and answer period of about 20 minutes. If multiple authors are presenting a single paper, they will share one 15 minute presentation.
· If you are using a PowerPoint presentation, please submit it to us by email or standard mail on a CD by October 1st, so we can have them loaded on the conference laptops. We can also accept digital video or image files if your presentation includes showing a sample piece of artistic work, but these should be kept to less than 5 minutes of your total presentation. Mailed CDs should be sent to Prof. Ruth Ann Stewart Attn: STPA Presentations NYU Wagner 295 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor New York, NY 10012
