Meeting Description:

The 58th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia will be held at The Notary
Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The Academy of Aphasia welcomes
submissions of original experimental, clinical, theoretical, and historical
research from any field that contributes to the study of aphasia, including
Speech-Language Pathology, Psychology, Neurology, Neuroscience, Linguistics,
History, and Computational Modeling.

Our keynote speaker this year will be is Dr. Elissa Newport, who runs the
Learning and Development Lab, which studies the acquisition of language, the
relationship between language acquisition and language structure, and the
Pediatric Stroke Research Project at Georgetown University. In addition, the
NIDCD-funded Academy of Aphasia conference grant (R13 DC017375-01) sponsors
funded student fellowships as well as the New Frontiers in Aphasia Research
seminar. This year the focus will be on transcranial direct current
stimulation, and the speaker will be Dr. Marom Bikson of The City College of
New York. 


Call for Papers: 

We are assuming the Covid-19 pandemic will be well under control by October so
we can go ahead with the conference, but do check our website for updates in
the future.

Presentation types:  The annual meeting includes both platform and poster
sessions.

Platform sessions include:
 - Scientific papers—consisting of original research that has not yet been
published.
 - Symposia—consisting of a number of papers focusing on a common theme from
researchers representing different laboratories.  These papers may report on
previously published research.
 - Mini-Workshops—methodologically oriented sessions consisting of a number of
papers reporting a unique approach to a timely topic.  The authors of these
papers may be from a single research group.

Poster sessions include:
 - Scientific papers that can be presented primarily in a visual format.

The Academy considers poster sessions to be as scientifically meritorious as
platform sessions. Poster sessions will not conflict with platform sessions.

Submissions should be made through EasyChair at the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aoa2020. More information about each
submission type is available on the Academy of Aphasia Website.
