We now welcome proposals from individuals or groups to convene sessions on all aspects of social science methodology. Sessions will comprise a set of papers on a common theme. The sessions could be quite small (ie. 4 papers on a theme) or there could be multiple sessions on a theme across time slots and days. Session convenors will organise the reviews of full papers for their session and will coordinate the sessions at the conference. Please note, session convenors are responsible for their own costs of attending the conference.
