    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
    23rd Annual Conference of the
    International Association for Conflict Management

     June 24 - 27, 2010
    Boston, Massachusetts

    Submission Deadline: February 8, 2010, 5:00 p.m. EST

    The International Association for Conflict Management (IACM) was founded to encourage scholars and practitioners to develop and disseminate theory, research, and experience that are useful for understanding and improving conflict management in organizational, societal, family, and international settings.

    You are invited to submit a paper, symposium or workshop for the 2010 meeting of IACM to be held in Boston, Massachusetts. Submissions should present new material, distinct from published works (including those that will appear in-print before the conference) and presentations at other conferences. Presentations can be submitted as either full length papers or extended abstracts. Other formats include symposia, debates, roundtables, and workshops. Submissions should be consistent with one or more of the general content areas listed below. We encourage innovative submissions that highlight dialogues between theory and practice, different cultures, different content areas, and different disciplines (e.g., psychology, economics, political science, computer science, neuroscience).

    For more details on submission format and procedures, please see the full call for submissions available on-line at www.iacm-conflict.org

    The submission portal will be open by mid-January. You can access the submission portal through the IACM website at www.iacm-conflict.org
