Poster

Presenting a poster offers conference participants the opportunity to present their findings, interact with other researchers, and receive feedback on their work. Posters will be presented in a dedicated poster session. Posters (and supplementary material, if applicable) will be presented during a session where poster presenters will have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with conference attendees about their work. Poster presenters are invited to bring handouts, or other visual elements to make the most of their session time. This session will give poster presenters time to discuss specific elements of the project design, and to answer questions from other conference attendees.

Oral Presentation

Oral presentations provide conference participants with the opportunity to present findings from a research project or program of research (including both empirical and theoretical work). Presentations will be 15 minutes long, followed by a 5 minute question period. Oral presentations must report on work completed.

Symposium

Symposiums are intended to provide a group or team of researchers (and their community partners, where applicable) with the means to present work around a consistent theme. Symposiums will last for 90 minutes and consist of three, 20-minute papers followed by 30 minutes of discussion. Symposiums are intended for in depth exploration of a single theme related to gender, sex, and health research, by a group or team of researchers who wish to explore different dimensions of the same topic. This is also the ideal forum to present findings on multi-stage studies, projects that involve multiple research sites, or explorations of mixed and multi-method studies.

Please note: Submissions for the symposium sessions must include abstracts for all three proposed papers, plus a panel abstract outlining the theme of the symposium. Submissions must also name the individual who will chair the session. All presenters must attend.

Workshop

Workshops allow for the demonstration and application of techniques and skills relevant to gender, sex, and health research. These interactive sessions will last for 90 minutes. A workshop proposal should include the title of the workshop, the name, affiliation and contact information for the chair of the workshop, the names and affiliations of all workshop presenters, an explanation of the topic of the workshop, a description of the approach for conducting the workshop, and a description of the workshop format (what activities or methods will be used to make the workshop interactive). The workshop proposal should also indicate whether any technology or other materials are required.
