PAMLA would like to announce that we have extended the deadline for our 2022 Call for Special Sessions: now to April 15! We would like another ten strong special sessions for this terrific conference (November 11-13, 2022 at the lovely UCLA Luskin Hotel and Conference Center). So, please consider proposing a session and spreading the word. And, we are particularly interested in creative session formats: workshops, creative conversations, roundtables, special events (https://www.pamla.org/conference/session-formats/).
