We warmly invite panel and paper submissions across the field of scholars working at the intersections of anthropology, psychology, and related disciplines. Aside from research papers, we explicitly encourage contributions that work with mixed, cross/media, or film as research methods or ways that communicate research in academic and non-academic publics. We also encourage roundtables on controversial questions and debates, and we invite creative labs that can be conducted both inside the venue and in the surrounding environments of the Schloss (including the Botanical Garden, Schloss Park, or the city).
Panel and paper submissions: We emphatically encourage panel submissions but will also accept a limited number of individual papers, which will be arranged into cohesive panels by the ENPA conference team. Each panel session includes 5 x 20-minute presentation slots and 20 minutes for open discussion. Possible formats are: 5 papers + 20 min discussion OR 4 papers, discussant + 20 min discussion.
Roundtables: We invite roundtables on controversial questions and debates comprising a maximum of 7 (international) guest speakers and 3 moderators.
Labs: We encourage labs in which experimental discussion formats are to be tested. This includes walk-alongs, walkie-talkies, emplaced learning, or artistic methods, to mention but a few examples, as well as projects that break new ground methodologically and pedagogically. A maximum of 4 organizers are encouraged to engage in creative formats and organize the number of participants, aims, and modalities.
All presentation types (i.e., panels, papers, roundtables, and labs can be organized as either exclusive online formats, or as exclusive in-house formats, but formats cannot be merged (i.e. it is not possible to have a mix of online and in-house presentations in one panel, roundtable, lab).
Please submit your panels, papers, roundtables, or labs by 31 January 2025 via email at submissions@enpanthro.net.
Panel submissions should include:
- general abstract, max 250 words, please indicate if online or in-house;
- abstract for each of the 4-5 papers, max 250 words each;
- name, institutional affiliation, and email of all participants (chair/s, presenters,discussants).
Individual paper submissions should include:

Roundtable submissions should include:
- general abstract, max 250 words, please indicate if online or in-house;

To ensure robust attendance across workshops, labs, and roundtables, the conference organizers may limit the total number of sessions available in these formats. Additionally, the ‘two-role rule’ applies to roles involving workshops, labs, roundtable organization, and positions as panelists or speakers: each participant may engage in no more than two distinct roles across these categories (e.g., workshop/lab/roundtable organization, speaker, moderator, or discussant). Dual roles within the same category are not permitted. Please note that when participating in a lab, the ‘two-role rule’ does not apply.
Registration will open in February 2025, and – as in previous years – we aim to keep fees as low as possible to ensure a diverse and accessible conference.
If you have any further questions regarding the conference, please do not hesitate to contact us at conference@enpanthro.net.
