Program Formats
We solicit submission for Roundtable Discussion, Workshops, and Posters. Our goal is to organize convention activities that provide an alternative to the typical conference experience, which is usually dominated by unidirectional scholarly presentations, with very little time for socializing and networking. Therefore, we require that all Roundtable Discussions and Workshops sessions be interactive and be conducted in a circle format (in which attendees and presenters sit in chairs arranged in a circle). Examples of such sessions include, but are not limited to:
-
A Workshop in which presenters demonstrate and/or teach their hobby, art, physical activity, or other passions.
-
A Roundtable Discussion on scholarly work on the AAPI feminist process, social justice issues, mindfulness, authenticity.
-
A Workshop in which participants process issues related to social justice (e.g., meditation, advocacy)
Lifting as We Climb
-
A Workshop on applying feminist approaches to mentoring and supervision.
-
A Roundtable Discussion in which presenters facilitate interactive discussions on scholarly work around the topic of mentoring and academic/clinical supervision.
Together We Can Do So Much
-
A Roundtable Discussion on scholarly work around the topic of interdisciplinarity, intersectionality, group dynamics.
-
A Workshop on establishing partnerships with community organizations to conduct community-based participatory research.
