[Air-L] FAT*2020 CfP is out Re: Look out for the FAT*2020 CfP

[Maya Ganesh]

Hello,

The call for the FAT*2020 conference is out:
https://fatconference.org/2020/callforpapers.html

The Social Sciences and Humanities, Practice and Experience, and
Education tracks are all new; looking at previous years' papers, people
in SSH fields might feel this is not for them. But we really want to
encourage people working in SSH fields, social movements, education etc
feel that they can and should submit their work. So please do share this
with colleagues who you think could apply. And, full length papers (8000
words) are required, not abstracts.

There are some great scholars on the SSH, Practice, and Education
tracks, many of them are on this list too I'm sure, and we will be happy
to respond off-list if anyone has questions about submitting to this
conference.

Best wishes,
Maya
