Conference proposal submission 2026

As you prepare to submit a proposal, please adhere to the following guidelines: 

1. You may submit ONE proposal as lead presenter and ONE proposal as a co-presenter (TWO proposals in total). If you submit more than one proposal as a lead presenter and one as a co-presenter, the third proposal will be deleted. Please pay attention to this guideline. You may be responsible for the deletion of a proposal that is a colleague’s only proposal.  

2. Do not include any identifying information in any part of your proposal. Proposals will be rejected if identifying information is included. 

All proposals must be submitted online through this Google Forms submission link. Please enter the following information:

1. The name and contact information (including institutional affiliation, email address, and telephone number) of the lead presenter and all co-presenter(s). PA-NAME will notify only the lead presenter of the acceptance or rejection of proposals so lead presenters should keep a copy of the proposal, and should share the acceptance/rejection notice with co-presenters.  

2. Title of proposal. The title and abstract in the proposal will be used in the conference program for accepted proposals. 

3. Abstract. The abstract should be no more than 50 words in length. It will be included in the conference program, if the proposal is accepted. 

4. Proposal. The proposal must not contain any identifying information to ensure blind review. If identifying information is included, the proposal will be rejected. Proposals may be a maximum of 500 words. Please address the following four points (a-d) of information and include the heading of each point in the narrative: 

   1. Content in Relationship to Conference Theme: Briefly describe the content of your presentation. How will it address the conference theme? What does the presentation seek to accomplish, and what are its objectives? 

   2. Significance of Content: Why is the presentation significant? How will it advance our knowledge of or capacity for multicultural education? Include any relevant data, information, or research supporting the presentation. Proposals should make clear how they are adding something new to multicultural education. 

   3. Audience Interaction and Process: How will the audience be involved in the session? What handouts or resources will be provided? What is the format of the session (e.g., workshop, simulation/role play, group discussion, lecture, paper presentation, artistic performance, etc.)? 

   4. Organizing Level and Outcomes: What is the organizing level and how is the presentation geared to that audience? How will the presentation be of use to conference participants? What should participants learn during the session?
