Colegas & Colleagues:

We are looking forward to our virtual seminar in February 2021. We wish we could see everyone in person, as originally planned, but we will do our best to make the
online experience the best it can be.

The dates of the seminar are February 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11. All sessions will be at either 1 pm or 4 pm Houston time (CST).

ZOOM SESSIONS

All events except the Keynote Lecture will be held as Zoom Meetings. If you are a presenter, discussant, or chair, please plan to log on ten minutes early so we can greet you and give you co-hosting access. This will enable you to share your screen via Zoom.

Members of the audience will be admitted at 1 and 4 pm.

All panels will be moderated by a Rice graduate student. They will introduce themselves and the panelists. They will begin the panel, keep track of time, and host the Question and Answer period.

All workshops will be led by specialists from the Fondren Library at Rice. Each workshop will last for one hour.

The keynote lecture will be a Zoom Webinar.

REMINDERS FOR PRESENTERS

Have your paper ready by January 18th. Livia will write to all presenters on January 18th. Respond to her email with a copy of your paper (please use a pdf format). She will then forward your paper to your discussant. You will have fifteen minutes to present. This time limit is firm. Prepare a powerpoint in a second language and use it to present the main points of your paper so that everyone can follow your oral presentation.

All sessions will be recorded. The recorded sessions will be uploaded into this webpage.
