The annual Eric M. Mindich Encounters with Authors Conference is an opportunity for one or more authors to present a major work still in progress. The conference typically takes the form a week-long series of talks, but the structure is flexible and we can accomodate different approaches.
We invite proposals to run our annual Eric M. Mindich Encounters with Authors Conference, typically a week-long series of talks by authors of a major work still in progress. The symposium offers scholars an extended, intensive seminar with the authors of new, path-breaking scholarly works. You can propose to invite specific scholars to give the talks, or to give the talks about a project on which you are working. Proposals for other formats are welcome, too.
IQSS pays all conference expenses, arranges invitations, and provides necessary administrative and staff support.
Note: An agenda for the 2009 symposium is not available at this time.
