education) or to develop new sub-fields are particularly welcome.

organisers informally as indicated above. All submissions will be
peer-reviewed, anonymously, and selected on the grounds of
originality, clarity, and significance of findings and conclusions.

PREPARATIONS FOR PRESENTATION
Each oral presentation should not exceed 20 minutes. It will be
followed by 5 minutes discussion. While we cannot predict the size of
the audience in parallel sessions at this stage, you are asked to
prepare at least 50 copies of any materials you wish to hand out in
support of your presentation. Audio-visual materials will need to be
suitable for use in a large lecture theatre. OHP will be available in
all rooms. Other equipment can be arranged by advanced written
request. Video tapes should be in PAL system. We may ask some of the
presenters to submit a full written copy of their paper in advance for
sign language translation. Instructions on poster presentation will be
sent to you at a later date.
