The Importance of Keyword Selection:
For each submission, you will be asked to select two keywords. Please note that your submission will be sent to a committee member based on the first keyword that you select.
For example, if you are submitting a paper proposal on Islamic law and punishment in the “War on Terror,” you will have several relevant keywords to choose from. If you want to be part of a panel with other scholars studying Islamic law, choose the keyword “religion.” If instead you want to share your research with people studying punishment, choose the keyword “punishment.” If you would prefer to talk with people doing research on terrorism, choose the keyword “security and terror.” A clear abstract and careful selection of keywords will help the Program Committee to create more effective panels.
