About the Annual Meeting
The ACLA's annual conferences have a distinctive structure in which most papers are grouped into twelve-person seminars that meet two hours per day for the three days of the conference to foster extended discussion. Some eight-person (or smaller) seminars meet just the first two days of the conference. This structure allows each participant to be a full member of one seminar, and to sample other seminars during the remaining time blocks. Previous conference programs that show this pattern are available online at the ACLA website. The conference also includes plenary sessions, workshops and roundtable discussions, a business meeting, a banquet, and other events.
You can find more details on how to propose seminars and individual papers, how to register for the conference and for membership in the ACLA, reserve a hotel room, and travel to Princeton. Feel free to write to acla06@princeton.edu with questions.
