We have an exciting program for you this year in San Francisco! The program co-chairs Carolyn Stevenson and Kate McCoy report that the competition for spots on the program was fierce this year. We had 25 session submissions, but were only able to accept 6. We had 78 paper submissions, but were only able to accept 33. Papers and sessions went through a rigorous review process. What you see on the program are those receiving the highest ratings from the peer review panel. Outside of that process, we decided to include two invited sessions to appeal especially to graduate students — the session on excellence in dissertation research and the Fireside Chat on methodological emancipation. We hope you find this year’s offerings challenging, inspiring, and entertaining!
