Women's Caucus Sessions at the NAEA Convention
New Format for NAEA Conventions Instituted in 2009: Poster session
This year the NAEA Convention Proposal Form includes the option to present research in a poster format. The advantage of this format is that your work will be available for viewing for three days, including designated time when all poster presenters will be available for the discussion of their work. NAEA encourages the submission of a wide range of research methods, including Applied Research by practitioners.
NAEA WC Convention Review Process & Evaluation Criteria
REVIEW COMMITTEE: The NAEA provides the set of proposals to be reviewed by the WC to the WC President who sends the document to the review committee. The review committee consists of a members' elected WC proposal reader, another WC member reader of the elected proposal reader's choice, the elected president-elect, and the elected President of the WC. Each rates proposals individually. No evaluator rates her or his own proposal. The President-elect and President average the scores, and the President provides the averaged score per proposal to the NAEA.
NAEA PROCESS: The document provided by NAEA of all the proposals provides instructions to complete the score for each of the three criteria indicated below. The criteria scores must be values of 1 through 5 and total not more than 15.
The number of presentation slots available to the WC varies by conference venue. Those that receive a score of 15 are typically accepted by the NAEA. If there are more presentation slots those with a score of 14 are included. Depending on conference venue size, those with scores of 13 or less may not be accepted.
CRITERIA:
1. Clarity of Purpose (The title and catalogue descriptions convey the purpose and focus as indicated in the full 150-word description and do not suggest too many directions, too large a topic, or too much to be included in the designated presentation time allotment.)
2. Suitability/Relevance to the WC mission
3. Quality (The title and catalogue descriptions in alignment with the full 150-word description suggests why the presentation is relevant in relation to the WC mission, and presents a theory of practice, or practice of theory informed inquiry or issue.)
History of Proposal Submissions:
2009-2010: In 2009, WC reviewers received 22 proposals, which included the 4 annual meetings of the Board, members, awards, and breakfast. The NAEA accepted 19 WC proposals for NAEA 2010 in Baltimore, in which 9 were rated at 15, 7 rated at 14, and 6 rated at 13 or below.
