ASA declines to let us in again

Are they Afraid of Gay Aspie? or a working living anthropology?


Dear Rich:ASA regrets to inform you that your Session entitled: Autism's Forgotten Anthropology has not been accepted for concurrent presentation at ASA's 36th National Conference and Exposition, to be held at the Nashville Convention Center, July 13 - 16, 2005 in Nashville, TN.This year's submissions presented the committee with very difficult decisions to make. ASA thanks you for your patience during this process. As there were a great number of submissions, we wanted to be sure and give every session appropriate review. Unfortunately, there are only so many available "slots" for concurrent sessions and with over 325 submissions, many qualified sessions could not be accepted this year.We do hope, however, that you will consider submitting next year when ASA visits Providence, RI. The Open Call for Sessions will be between Labor Day 2005 and Thanksgiving 2005.Sincerely,The ASA Conference Committee and the ASA Conference Department
