While a broad range of topics and approaches is the Program Committee's goal, topics highlighting the cultural diversity of the Pacific Northwest would seem particularly appropriate. In each case, a clear thesis and convincing methodology will highly recommend a presentation to the Program Committee. To foster dialogue and discussion, the Program Committee would like to advocate consideration of various presentation formats including panels, presentations with respondents, and papers integrated with performances. Papers should be carefully timed to last no longer than twenty minutes, and performances not more than thirty minutes. The Program Committee requests that presenters of the 1996 Sonneck Society Conference refrain from submitting a proposal for the 1997 conference.
Early submission is encouraged and appreciated.
