100th Anniversary Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide
Final Call for Papers
April 10 – April 12, 2015
St. Sahag & St. Mesrob Armenian Church
Wynnewood, PA
St. Sahag & St. Mesrob Armenian Church in Wynnewood, PA, seeks to commemorate the 100th anniverary of the onset of the Armenian Genocide with a multi-faceted symposium that appeals to all segments of the Armenian communities in Philadelphia. The planning committee therefore invites submissions for consideration.
The symposium’s theme, We Not Only Survived, We Thrived, permits us the space to discuss all facets of the Genocide and its effects on Armenians and the world. Whether we consider aspects of language, literature, history, art, politics, family life, or any other aspect of culture, the Genocide had far-reaching effects on it all. Therefore, papers and panels addressing any aspect of the Genocide are invited for submission. However, preference will be given to themes/presentations that have a broad appeal, especially to the lay community. All presenters at the symposium will receive an honorarium.
Submission Information: To speed both review and planning procedures, we prefer completed papers and program proposals. However, if the timing of the holidays prevents one from submitting a full paper, please submit an abstract for consideration.
Submissions should include two files: one with the name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address of each author and the second containing the main body of the paper and an abstract of 150 words or less. All author identifiers should be removed from the second file. If the author has never presented at a professional conference or is a graduate student, the words “Debut Paper” or “Student Paper,” respectively, should be prominently displayed in the first file. If the paper is co-authored, please indicate which author(s) will be presenting.
Proposals for panels should include two files: one listing the names, affiliations, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of all participants, including any chair(s) or respondent(s), and one listing a thematic title for the program as well as titles and abstracts for each presentation. Please also include a rationale for the panel and one page of copy, including a 75-word description, as it should appear in the final printed conference program.
All submissions should include the following statement. Failure to include this statement will result in an automatic rejection of the submission: In submitting the attached (paper/proposal), I/we recognize that this submission is considered a professional responsibility. I/We agree to present said (paper/program) if it is accepted and programmed.
Equipment requests should be kept to an absolute minimum, as rental prices tend to run high and we do not wish to create an undue financial burden for the church. Please consult the conference planners listed below for more information.
Deadline for Submissions: All submissions must be received by Friday, January 30, 2015. Submitters of papers and panels selected for presentation will be notified by February 15, 2015. E-mail attachments should be in Word, PDF or RTF formats.
