Guidelines for Paper Proposals
AMS MIDWEST CHAPTER (April 2000)
Current chapter members are invited to submit papers on any subject to the Program Committee. Priority will be given to dues-paying members of the Chapter. Scholars outside the chapter who wish to give papers are encouraged to join the Chapter.
The Program Committee will give preference to members who have not read papers during the past two meetings. Abstracts should be 500 word or fewer and explain the premise of the paper, the conclusions reached, and the methodology used. Papers should not have been given at an AMS national meeting.
Proposals should include a list of equipment needed for the presentation. The usual equipment available includes a piano, tape player, and overhead projected (with screen). Presentations requiring other kinds of equipment must be discussed with the Program Chair.
Members should send one signed copy of the proposal to the Chapter President and blind copies (without any identification) to each member of the Program Committee.
The Program Committee (see checklist) is responsible for evaluating proposals based on the above stated guidelines and the creation of a coherent slate of sessions. If the call for proposals yields an insufficient number of proposals that meeting the guidelines, the Program Chair will solicit further papers to complete the program. Again, preference will be given to members who did not present at the last two meetings.
Students are eligible for the outstanding paper prize supported by A-R Editions and Indiana University Press. Student members who want to compete must express their wish to the Program Chair and must also send a copy of the complete paper to each member of the Program Committee. The Chapter urges advisors to attend their students’ presentations.
