2024 CALL FOR ROUNDTABLE PROPOSALS
2024 Call for Roundtable Proposals
UPDATE:Â The Call for Roundtable Proposals has closed. View the 2024 List of ASOR Roundtable Discussions to see what is being offered in Boston and to sign-up in advance for a discussion.
ASOR invites Roundtable Proposals from members and exhibitors for the 2024 ASOR Annual Meeting taking place at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza, November 20-23.
Roundtables will be designed as mini-meetings to be held during the brown-bag lunch period on Thursday of the Annual Meeting. They will take place in-person at round banquet tables in a large room at the conference hotel. Each discussion group will consist of the organizer and any ASOR Annual Meeting attendees who sign up in advance (space will be limited according to the size of the table). A virtual (online) option is not available for Roundtable participation.
The format is ideal for informal discussion on topics of general interest in the field, collaboration on publication projects or future member-organized sessions and workshops, matters of interest for field-schools and dig-directors, issues of student interest, and other items that ASOR’s Annual Meeting participants find relevant.
Roundtable meetings are not part of the academic program and proposals will not be peer-reviewed. Roundtable proposals will be evaluated and accepted/rejected by the ASOR staff on a space available basis until the Call for Roundtable Proposals closes on November 1.
