Preparing for the conference |
|
| The NorLit 2011 conference committee would like to ask all presenters to prepare a 10 minutes presentation of their papers for the conference. It is then the intention that conference participants will have read the papers beforehand so that presentations of papers are minimized in favour of more elaborate discussions. It will be up to the individual chairs to structure the panel session in the manner they prefer. We hope that this open structure will provide the conference participants with diverse, interesting and inspiring sessions. |
