Program Chair’s Report
CSSE/CCGSE 2011
CCGSE Conference Program Chair’s Report:
1. Proposals: CCGSE had 88 proposal submissions this year through the online submission
system. One issue this year involved a few students submitting more than one proposal to the
CCGSE SIG. This is a problem for a few reasons but mostly because CCGSE only has one
session, and therefore students could not present more than one presentation at a time.
2. Reviews: Three call for reviewers were sent out in October of 2010. A web survey was
created through the Brock University website. Please see the link below:
http://www.brocku.ca/education/researchers/ccgsereviewers
It was then converted to a discussant survey in March of 2011 (can be reverted back for
subsequent years). The web survey creates an output in the form of an Excel spreadsheet
with all information nicely organized. Following, the program chair manually matched
reviewer with proposal and discussant with roundtable. The online reviewer system was not
used this year but it is requested that it is used in following years. The CCGSE reviewer form
will be revised for the upcoming year to include “total numerical value (based on criteria)”
and “Do you accept this proposal, accept with revisions, or reject”. Also, co-presidents will
hold a meeting to discuss criteria revisions.
3. Roundtables: We have 49 scheduled papers, which are divided into 20 roundtables. The
request for faculty and graduate student discussants, put out over the CSSE listserve, were at
an all time low this year. It was a struggle to find enough discussants until the 3rd call. Due to
the storage of discussants at the time when the program went to print, the discussants were
not listed in the program this year. As a result, the program chair has created a poster board
listing discussants, allocated to a roundtable. This year, there will be one discussant per
roundtable and 2-3 papers (the inconsistently is due to presenter drop out and venue
limitations).
In addition, we had many presenters and discussants drop outs after the confirmation date
this year. Many of the reasons for not attending were lack of funding and distance of
conference.
4. Posters: This year we have 13 posters scheduled. The poster session will be held
concurrently, in the Aiken Centre (Hockey Arena), with the roundtables.
5. Symposiums: Three symposiums sessions were added this year. Originally, CCGSE was only going to
hold rountable and poster sessions, however 3 groups of authors submitted for symposiums and CSSE
had a few extra session spots available.
