Dear MAC members:

It is time to submit your panel proposals for the 2010 AEJMC convention in Denver.  Please send your proposals via e-mail (as a Word document attachment) by October 17 to MAC Vice-Head/Programming Chair Ilia Rodriguez at ilia@unm.edu.  We are seeking proposals for panels on research, teaching, and professional freedom and responsibility (PF&R).

All proposals should be one page in length and include the following:

(1)    Panel Title

(2)    Panel Type:  Indicate whether the proposal is for a TEACHING, PF&R, or RESEARCH panel.

(3)    Panel Sponsorship:  Indicate whether you are proposing a MAC-only panel or a co-sponsored panel.  For co-sponsored panels, list other AEJMC divisions or interest groups for which this proposal might prove relevant.  Please note: MAC sole-sponsored panel proposals will be considered.  However, the majority of AEJMC panels tend to be co-sponsored across divisions and interest groups.

(4)    Description of Panel:  Provide a succinct description in paragraph form of the key issues or subject matter to be addressed by the panelists.

(5)    Possible Panelists:  Indicate individuals who would be appropriate participants for this panel (may include academics, professionals, advocacy organizations). For those you list, indicate whether they have been contacted and have committed to participate.  If you plan to recruit a Denver-area professional for the panel, indicate this as well.  Please note: It is not necessary to have a full slate of four participants at the proposal stage.

Best to commit no more than 3 participant speakers at this point since other divisions may want to contribute one or more speakers once they agree to co-sponsor a panel.

(6)    Moderator:  This can be you or someone you nominate to moderate the panel.

(7)    Contact Person:  Include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number as the contact person for this panel proposal.

I look forward to reading your proposals and ideas,

Ilia Rodriguez
