Looking forward to it, Sandra. Thanks for all the hard work. Have you selected a theme to help shape the proposals?
Not publicly, but you will be the first to know!
Thanks again to all of the board members for their work thus far in planning the 2015 event! We appreciate your commitment, assistance and talent.
It’s going to be a long year. I can’t wait to be with you all again next summer!
Is the December deadline for abstracts of proposed papers, or complete papers, to be reviewed for possible presentations?
Do we know what the theme is going to be for laurapalooza 2015? Also which is the closest airport to Brookings. I live in Connecticut.
Thanks for asking! We announced the theme in the most recent LIWLRA member newsletter. (The newsletter goes only to LIWLRA members; information on how to join is here.) We will also share it when we announce the call for papers on August 25.
The nearest large airport is Sioux Falls, SD, but watch for suggestions on getting there as we get closer.
