 CALL FOR SESSION SUGGESTIONS – 9TH APC

APPEL À PROPOSITIONS DE SESSIONS – 9EME CPA

Your suggestion should include:

  • a short but self-explanatory title for the session; 
  • a brief paragraph explaining the importance and rationale of the session given the theme of the conference (maximum 300 words); 
  • the names and email addresses of two potential organizers (including yourself if you wish to be the session organizer);
  • Two sub-themes in which your suggested session belongs : one primary sub-theme and a secondary sub-theme if the session addresses more than one sub-theme (using the list of sub-themes provided below).
  • We expect all sessions to fit in the list of suggested sub-themes, but in the unlikely event that there is not a good fit, please select “Other”. You will need to justify the relevance of the session to the overall conference theme and to African demography more generally.

The International Organizing Committee will make final decisions on all sessions and sub-themes, including modifying or merging your suggested session with those of other members.

Members are encouraged to propose broad topics as they may attract a large number of papers.

Sessions that address new research and innovative methodologies or contribute to theory and policy are strongly encouraged.

 Deadline for submission: 31st October 2023
