32nd Annual Meeting of the Society for Text & Discourse: Call for Proposals
Based on member feedback, we have made the decision to move to a fully virtual conference instead of an in-person conference that was scheduled to be held in Atlanta, Georgia.
We invite students and scholars from various disciplines (e.g., psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, learning sciences, education, and others) to attend and participate in the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Text & Discourse, to be held online the week of July 19-21, 2022. We welcome the submission of original research on text and discourse processing, representation, and analysis.
The Society for Text & Discourse is an international society of researchers who investigate all aspects of text and discourse including processing and analysis. The purpose of the Society is to foster and promote excellence in research, to enhance communication among researchers in different disciplines, and to contribute to the education and professional development of those in the field or entering the field.
A full list of topics is avilable at the end of this proposal, however we especially encourage submissions on contexts and populations such as:
- Medical settings
- Adults with low literacy skills
- Individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing
- Multi-lingual individuals
**The submission page is now CLOSED. The submission deadline was March 15th, 2022**

Submission Options
ST&D 2022 will utilize the following submission options:
1. Standard Presentations with Asynchronous Feedback
- Standard presentations will be delivered asynchronously via 10-minute Flipgrid recording.
- Audience feedback will be delivered via responses in Flipgrid.
- Standard presentations will be organized into relevant Flipgrid topic categories in the 2022 ST&D Flipgrid page.
- This presentation category is viewed as the standard level, and thus less competitive in terms of submission evaluations.
2. Enhanced Presentations with Synchronous Discussions
- Enhanced Presentations will be delivered asynchronously via 10-minute Flipgrid recordings.
- Accepted Enhanced Presentations will be organized into themed 1-hour online discussion sessions, to be scheduled the dates of July 19-21, 2022.

- Example topics may include the following: Collecting data online, Open science research practices, Careers in Text and Discourse, & Social justice and equity.
- Proposals for Roundable topics and/or to volunteer to lead a roundable should be emailed to Scott Hinze (std2022 @ easychair.org).

It should contain basic sections including a short theoretical introduction/framework, methodological overview (including quantitative or qualitative approach), key findings, and a brief discussion. The summary will be submitted as a pdf file and should be saved using a generic same (e.g. summary.pdf) Proposals that exceed the length specified will not be reviewed.
Submission-based Awards
Each year, the Society for Text & Discourse recognizes excellence in research for projects primarily conducted by recent doctorates, doctoral candidates, and graduate students, or projects conducted by or significantly supported by undergraduate students. To be eligible for consideration for one of these awards, submitters must indicate the award eligibility during submission. Projects may only be considered for a single award category. Eligible proposals will first be evaluated for quality by the Program Review Committee, and the highest reviewed proposals will then be sent to the ST&D Awards Committee for final consideration. Award finalists may be asked to submit additional information regarding their submission. As a final step, dissertation advisors and/or research supervisors will be contacted by the Awards Committee to ensure that finalists have met all qualifications for the award. Recipients of each award receive a certificate and a $150 award check.
- Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award: The Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award (JAOYSA) honors the memory of Jason Albrecht, a promising young text and discourse researcher who passed away in 1997. The award recognizes an outstanding paper based on a doctoral dissertation. The doctoral candidate or recent doctorate must be first author on the paper.
- Graduate Student Research Award: The Graduate Student Research Award recognizes quality in predissertation work that is predominantly that of a graduate student. Accordingly, the graduate student must be first author on the paper.
- Undergraduate Student Research Award: The Undergraduate Student Research award recognizes quality in work that is predominately that of an undergraduate student, or research to which the undergraduate student contributed a significant amount of effort and support.
