Symposia

Call for Session Conveners

We invite scholars to express their interest in serving as conveners for a Thematic Panel or a Symposium.
A Symposium focuses on a particular theme and is proposed having identified paper authors beforehand;
it is a perfect format for creating/enlarging research or interest networks.

Symposium Conveners are responsible for

  • proposing the particular theme of the session, including identification of up to 4 named paper authors,
  • identifying 1-2 discussants,
  • planning the panel composition, and guaranteeing the participation of all the paper authors involved in their proposal,
  • supervising the paper submission to the closed conference forum in good time before the conference.

Regardless of format, conveners will

  • chair their respective session in the conference,
  • presenting the theme of the session, and
  • providing adequate time for paper presentations and their discussion.

Expressions of interest for both session formats should be max. 1 page long.

Please send your expression of interest by 15 September 2026 to tcc2027@care-taiwan.org.
Information about accepted proposals will be sent out on 15 October 2026.
