General Rules for Convention Participants

All participants who are Slavic scholars living in the U.S. must be current AAASS members. Only foreigners and scholars outside the field of Slavic studies do not need to join AAASS. If you are not currently a member or have not renewed your membership for the 2010 calendar year, please go to our Members Only / Registered Users site (www.aaassmembers.org) and click on “Membership Form” to activate your 2010 membership.

All participants on panels/roundtables, members and non-members, must preregister by the deadline and pay the registration fee.

If you agree to participate in the AAASS Convention, you are agreeing to be scheduled during any of the planned sessions. We will honor specific scheduling requests only for religious reasons.

Panels can only have: one Chair; maximum of 3 papers; maximum of 2 discussants. Roundtables can only have: one Chair; maximum of 5 participants.

Each participant may only have one role on a panel or roundtable, may only appear on two panels or roundtables during the convention, and only present one paper during the convention. You may organize as many panels or roundtables as you wish and you may give a paper on one panel and be the chair, or a discussant, or a participant on one other, but you cannot be chair and discussant or chair and give a paper on the same panel, and you CAN NOT sign up for more than two panels/roundtables.

Affiliate organizations of the AAASS are each allowed one panel/roundtable, which must be specified on the proposal form. Each affiliate-sponsored panel/roundtable will be screened in the usual manner by the Program Committee; we will not accept unscreened proposals.
