Format: 
The conference will operate live during Aotearoa New Zealand day time,
although sessions will be recorded and available afterwards. You can
participate by attending in Christchurch or from your home town via Zoom.
Plenary presentations will take place live. Other presentations (7-10 minutes
long) should be recorded, but at least one presenter of each paper should
attend their session in person or on Zoom. The conference will encourage
discussion and provide time in each session for face-to-face questions and
Zoom chat. At sites with multiple participants, we will help you gather and
with providing morning and afternoon tea (according to what is possible while
following good public health advice for the region).

Because travel to Aotearoa New Zealand from outside the bubble with Australia
is uncertain, we recommend international participants plan to take part
remotely.

In case of New Zealand entering Covid-19 level 3 or 4, the conference will
move entirely online.

Submission guidelines: 
Please email abstracts of papers and proposals for panels to
nzdc8 at canterbury.ac.nz. 

Abstracts should be 750-1000 words in total. Please specify the area of your
presentation and provide keywords to help us put together the sessions. Panel
proposals should provide an overall justification of 300-500 words, name of
chair/respondent and also specify how each participant will contribute (300
words per presenter). When proposing panels, please let us know the format you
suggest would work best for the panel. Panels may be either face-to-face or
Zoom-based. All abstract and panel proposals will be reviewed by our
conference team and invited reviewers.
