Hello Robin and all,
sounds interesting, Robin...
just want to clarify in case there's any confusion...the final, drop-dead
deadline for submissions to the online call for papers for SHA 2011 is July
10 -- not the 18th, as noted below.
I figure this was just a typo but I thought I'd catch it just in case.
That really is a final deadline, too. We have to get the prelim program to
the newsletter editor soon after taht, and there isn't any wiggle room on
the timing.
And do feel free to ask us questions and/or see the FAQ on the SHA web site.
We'll even ADD your question to the FAQ if necessary!
cheers,
carol
(SHA 2011 Program Chair)
