Submitting an abstract

The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Influencing policy through enhancing professionalism’, and you are invited to submit an abstract that shows how you are realizing the theme in some way. Your paper may be a review of current practice, or work in progress; it can give explanations of successful research, or research that did not go according to plan. The main thing is to show how professionalism is being enhanced, and exercising some influence on policy thinking and implementation.

Abstracts should be not more than 300 words, to include any references. They should be sent to the Value and Virtue team at valueandvirtue@yorksj.ac.uk by 28 February 2013. Responses will be sent out by mid-March 2013. Delegates must register for the conference by 13 April 2013 to ensure their abstracts remain on the programme.

The conference aims to include as many papers as possible from a wide range of practice-based research perspectives, and papers will be made available on the website prior to the conference. We encourage innovative forms of presentation, as well as traditional spoken forms. Dance, performance, group work and other participative forms are welcomed.

If you have any questions of any kind, please write to the conference team at valueandvirtue@yorksj.ac.uk or direct to Jean at jeanmcniff@mac.com and we will respond as promptly as possible.

We are hoping to make this entire conference a welcoming, pleasant and educational experience for all.

Be sure of a very warm welcome in York.

We look forward to reading your abstract soon.
