Global Ethics: Crossing Borders, Joining Hands

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where is the Preliminary Program?

A. The preliminary program is at the following link: http://www.kennesaw.edu/globalinstitute/geprogram.htm

Q. How is my panel organized?

A. Chairs of concurrent sessions determine the structure and order of presentation. By now, participants should have received these instructions from their session/panel chairs. Typically, they ask you to submit your papers about two weeks before the conference, they tell you low long you have for your presentation, and they ask if you need technology. If you have questions about your presentation, please contact your chair. If you have questions about the conference, contact Maggie Scott at mscott@kennesaw.edu, or Dr. Akanmu Adebayo at aadebayo@kennesaw.edu.

Q. What about technology needs for my presentation?

A. All rooms come fully equipped with the latest presentation technology and high-speed Internet access. We only ask that you bring your laptop. Reason is to ensure that your presentation works the way you set it up. However, it’s okay if you don’t want to bring your own laptop. We will have a laptop available. Do come with a CD of your presentation and we’ll work with that. As a back-up plan, you may also place the material online at your institution.

Q. What happens to my paper after the conference?

A. Publication. The paper will undergo blind peer review. Authors will be invited to make corrections or update the paper following the suggestion of anonymous readers. We plan to publish the papers first on-line and subsequently as a volume of ILEC and/or IGI journal.
