Roundtables are designed to promote discussion and exploration of a selected topic, with an emphasis on active engagement of the audience. Successful proposals will indicate not only the role of the roundtable participants but also how they will engage the audience in active dialogue.<h3>Special Requirements<\/h3><ul><li>A roundtable presentation that has been presented in a previous year may not be resubmitted this year. For more information, review the rules about <a href=\"https:\/\/englishconvention.org\/2023\/submission-overview\/\">what individuals can submit<\/a>;<\/li><li>the longer abstract must include a bibliography that shows engagement with conversations about the topic that will form the basis of the roundtable theme and discussion;<\/li><li>the submitter and primary contact for the roundtable presentation may be a student member, an alumni member, a faculty member, or a Chapter Advisor; and<\/li><li>a moderator must be included at the time of submission.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Roundtable Submission Guidelines<\/h3><p>Roundtables should be 60-75 minutes in length, including questions and answers (Q &amp; A) with audience members. <strong>Roundtables are not a vehicle for the reading of papers.<\/strong> Faculty may be moderators or participants in a roundtable, though the proposed roundtable presentation would ideally include at least one student participant.<\/p><p>Competition for the limited number of roundtable slots will be lively. Only those submissions that actively engage the audience in dialogue will be considered.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>While judges will read and consider multiple proposals from the same school, individual chapters are limited to two acceptances <strong>unless<\/strong> the proposal includes members from more than one school. Priority will be given to those roundtables that include members from more than one chapter and\/or that cover the <a href=\"https:\/\/englishconvention.org\/2023\/convention-theme\/\">convention theme, Beautiful Colorado<\/a>. A <a href=\"http:\/\/english.org\/about\/student_leadership\/index.shtml\">Regional Student Representative or Associate Student Representative<\/a> can help you use Society resources to connect with other members.<\/p><p>Not sure what subjects might spark an engaging roundtable?
