Abstract Submissions
Abstracts should be submitted through the online submission portal, which is available here.
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to the 2nd of April 2026.
Panels at SASA are organised through thematic working groups. You can find the full list of working groups here. You should indicate which working group you are submitting to in the submission portal. All submissions need to be associated to one working group.
There are two formats of presentation, panels and roundtables. The roundtable format is intended as a developmental space, especially for Honours or MA students who are presenting work which is at the proposal stage. Each roundtable will be chaired by a senior academic who will provide feedback and encourage conversation across papers. Panel presentations are intended for papers based on completed research or more advanced projects. However, you are free to choose which format you prefer.
