  3. Roundtable Discussions: This should include an abstract for the panel as a whole as well as a one page abstract from each panelist. The abstracts should be sufficiently detailed so that a reviewer will be able to assess the merits of the proposal.
  4. Case Studies: This should include the case study and the paper or abstract of the proposed discussion.
  5. Pedagogical Demonstration: This should include a 1-2 page discussion of the proposed demonstration.
  6. Author Meets the Critics: Submissions may be made by an author or others for a session that critically evaluates a recent book in practical or professional ethics. The proposal can be in the form of a panel, including formal papers or a roundtable discussion as indicated above. The submission should indicate the title of the book and date of publication as well as all the panelists. A copy of the book must be submitted to the APPE office for review.
  7. Lunch with an Author: Authors may propose a Lunch with an Author session, either in conjunction with an Author Meets the Critics session or not. Authors must submit a copy of the book to the APPE office for review.
