We especially welcome abstracts from (graduate) students, early career researchers, and those who have been historically marginalised within academia. We are committed to making the conference as accessible as possible for everyone. If you have any access needs for presentations or attendance, please let us know upon acceptance of your abstract or when registering and we will work with you to fulfil these needs. Although we warmly encourage everyone to attend in person, this might not be feasible for everyone. In case you prefer to present online, please let us know when submitting your abstract.
