A standing invitation
Call for Papers
While the Society issues a formal call for papers each autumn for the following year's meetings, there is no need to wait for it: papers may be proposed at any time. Proposals are welcome from any member who would like to read a paper or lead a workshop at a forthcoming meeting — at whatever stage of a career, and whether or not you have spoken at SOTS before.

All members are warmly welcome to make such a proposal – at whatever stage of their career, and whether or not they have given a paper at SOTS before. Longer sessions, such as the main evening papers, are normally by invitation only.
