A Non-Governmental Organization in Formal Consultative Relations with UNESCO
Abstracts should be no more than 300 words in length, and written in English. The themes of the conference are listed and described on this page.
Abstracts should include a clear statement of the problem, a coherent argument, evidence of the author’s knowledge of previous research, and a statement of the implications for ethnomusicology, ethnochoreology, or other disciplines. Because abstract review is anonymous, do not include your name or the names of other panellists in the body of the abstract.
Following evaluation by the Programme Committee, authors will be notified in December 2022.
Only one proposal can be submitted per person. The deadline for all submissions is 10 October 2022.

Organized panels should be either 90 minutes (3 papers, each 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion) or 120 minutes long (4 papers or 3 papers and a discussant). A proposal by the panel organizer (300 words) as well as one by each individual presenter (300 words each) are required. Where an independently submitted abstract appears to fit a panel, the programme committee may suggest the addition of a panellist. The programme committee may also recommend acceptance of only some of the papers on a panel. Click here to submit an organized panel proposal.

Roundtable sessions provide opportunities for participants to discuss a subject with each other and with members of the audience. Sessions of up to 120 minutes should include at least 4 but no more than 5 presenters. We encourage formats that stimulate discussion and audience participation. The roundtable organizer will solicit position papers of up to 15 minutes from each presenter and will facilitate questions and discussion for the remaining time. The proposal should be submitted by the roundtable organizer. Click here to submit a roundtable proposal.
