Sirens expects to receive a wide variety of programming proposals in many fields for our 2012 conference. To facilitate the selection of programming proposals from the submissions pool, we will depend on the decisions of an independent review board whose members evaluate presentations based on relevance, representation of the widest possible variety of topics, and quality of scholarship. The review board, in turn, represents the various areas in which we expect to receive the majority of submissions so that those with direct knowledge of subject areas can evaluate proposals.

Biographies for the 2012 vetting board will be posted here at a later date. If you have any questions about programming or the selection process for programming proposals, please write to our programming team at (programming at sirensconference.org).
