We are keen to receive proposals from colleagues with a diverse range of job role, level and type (e.g. academic, technical, administrative, support staff, etc.).

We are keen to receive proposals from marginalised and under-represented groups, including Black, Indigenous People of Colour (BIPOC), D/disabled, LGBTQIA+.

The peer-review process will focus on the content on the proposal, not the quality of the writing. Peer-reviewers will not make judgements on academic language, spelling or grammar. We value the role of language and linguistic differences in knowledge construction, accept submissions in more than one language and various forms of multi-modal presentation. We will review proposals based on the criteria themselves.

We will work with colleagues who have proposals accepted, to ensure any access requirements or support needs are met before and during the conference.

How do I get support with making a proposal?

If you require any advice or support with your proposal, please contact Conference Coordinator Tim Stephens at educationconference@arts.ac.uk. This support can range from an informal chat about an idea to providing feedback on initial proposals up to one week prior to the deadline, suggesting potential collaborators or advice on the appropriate choice of format. This advice and support may be offered individually, or in small groups, as appropriate.
