> workshops that will invite visiting researchers into their labs or studios
> or locales. Proposals should be no more than 1,000 words, and should
> clearly outline the purpose, methodology, structure, costs, equipment and
> minimal attendance required, as well as explaining its relevance to the
> conference as a whole. Proposals will be accepted if they demonstrate that
> the workshop will add significantly to the overall program in terms of
> thematic depth, hands on experience, or local opportunities for scholarly
> or artistic connections. These proposals and all inquiries regarding
> pre-conference proposals should be submitted as soon as possible to the
