[Commlist] 2023 International Symposium on Autoethnography and Narrative

The deadline for submissions and award nominations for the 2023 
International Symposium on Autoethnography and Narrative (online, 
January 2-5, 2023) has been extended to AUGUST 15, 2022. For more 
information, visit www.iaani.org

Given the continued prevalence of Covid-19, travel restrictions, rising 
international conflict, and the uncertain financial constraints faced by 
many scholars and organizations, the 2023 ISAN will continue as a fully 
online event. The symposium will occur via Zoom on January 2-5, 2023. 
Eastern Standard Time (EST) will be used for all symposium activities.

Additional updates regarding the 2023 symposium:

• Registration: We made a slight adjustment to registration fees. For 
the 2023 symposium, general registration will be $50 (USD) and $35 (USD) 
for graduate students, part time faculty, independent scholars, and 
anyone experiencing financial hardship. Unlike last year’s fee structure 
($25 for the symposium + $25 for workshops), this year’s fee structure 
will be all-inclusive; all registrants will have access to all facets of 
the symposium (e.g., workshops).

• Submissions: Even though the symposium is online, there are still 
restrictions on time and (Zoom) space. Based on the feedback from the 
2022 symposium, there is also a desire to schedule fewer participants 
per session and/or allocate more time for each session. As such, for the 
2023 ISAN, we are limiting participants to ONE submission (includes 
co-authored submissions). Our hope is to have no more than two sessions 
per time slot and no more than four panelists per session.

• 2022 ISAN Proceedings: The editors are nearly finished with the 
proceedings from the 2022 symposium. The proceedings should be finalized 
by August 10, 2022. We will post the 2022 ISAN Proceedings on the 2022 
ISAN page.

• In-person gathering: In addition to the online symposium, several of 
us are trying to envision an in-person gathering. The details are still 
uncertain. Our primary hotel, The Dolphin Beach Resort, is not accepting 
groups through mid-2023. We received a proposal from another venue, but 
it was very expensive. Hotels typically require an organization to 
commit to a minimum number of rooms (25+) AND a minimum number of 
food/drink purchases ($3000+) to use event space at no (or a reduced) 
cost. For an in-person gathering to happen, it must be financially 
viable for the organization. We encourage everyone to plan for an 
online-only symposium. If an in-person gathering happens, it will occur 
at a different time and date from the online symposium.

• IAANI Business Meeting: We held the annual IAANI business meeting on 
February 28, 2022. We discussed several of these changes at the meeting. 
A recording of the meeting is posted below.
