Each session will be one hour long, including five or ten minutes for questions. Presentations should be illustrated – we can provide a computer projector. Speakers will also be expected to provide a handout of supporting material (up to four pages) which we will copy for all registrants.
Speakers will be paid an honorarium of $100 CDN per one hour lecture, plus modest expenses.
Please submit your lecture proposals by e-mail. Please keep them brief and informal at this point. (We may ask for more details later.) Be sure to include your mailing address, phone number, and a brief bio.
