Meeting Description:

The 60th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia will be held at the
Courtyard Marriott Hotel (“The Notary”) in Philadelphia, PA, USA
(https://www.thenotaryhotel.com/). We encourage onsite attendance, although we
also offer the option to participate online via an interactive hybrid
platform. Our opening night reception will be at the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts (PAFA; https://www.pafa.org/), the USA’s first and oldest art
museum and art school. The Academy 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 is Dr. Dani S. Bassett (University of Pennsylvania;
https://live-sas-physics.pantheon.sas.upenn.edu/people/standing-faculty/daniel
le-bassett). Dr. Bassett is the J. Peter Skirkanich Professor of
Bioengineering, with secondary appointments in the Departments of Electrical &
Systems Engineering, Physics & Astronomy, Neurology, and Psychiatry. Their
research is best-known for blending neural and systems engineering to identify
fundamental mechanisms of learning, cognition, and disease in human brain
networks, including work in language and aphasia. Dr. Bassett has received
multiple prestigious awards, including the American Psychological
Association's ‘Rising Star’ (2012), Alfred P Sloan Research Fellow (2014),
MacArthur Fellow Genius Grant (2014), Early Academic Achievement Award from
the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (2015), Office of Naval
Research Young Investigator (2015), National Science Foundation CAREER (2016),
Popular Science Brilliant 10 (2016), Lagrange Prize in Complex Systems Science
(2017), Erdos-Renyi Prize in Network Science (2018), OHBM Young Investigator
Award (2020), AIMBE College of Fellows (2020), American Physical Society
Fellow (2021), and has been named one of Web of Science's most Highly Cited
Researchers for 3 years running. Dr. Bassett is the author of more than 300
peer-reviewed publications with over 33,000 citations, as well as a
forthcoming academic trade book (Curious Minds: The Power of Connection).

Now in its fifth year, the NIDCD-funded Academy of Aphasia conference grant
(R13 DC017375-01) will sponsor student fellows to attend and present their
work at the conference. They will also receive focused mentoring and training
from seasoned faculty mentors at the meeting. Both U.S. and international
students are eligible to apply - please contact Swathi Kiran (kiransbu.edu)
with inquiries. The grant also sponsors a state-of-the-art New Frontiers in
Aphasia Research seminar. This year's topic will focus on Computational
Linguistics, and the speaker will be Dr. John Hale of the University of
Georgia (UGA; https://ling.franklin.uga.edu/directory/people/john-hale). Dr.
Hale is Arch Professor of World Languages and Cultures in the Department of
Linguistics at UGA. His scientific research focuses on fundamental questions
of language comprehension, investigated through cognitive modeling using
computer simulations. Prior to joining UGA, Dr. Hale was a full-time research
scientist at the pioneering artificial intelligence laboratory Deepmind.

2nd Call for Papers:

Presentation types. The annual meeting includes both platform and poster
sessions. Platform speakers will be required to attend onsite. All posters
will be presented virtually; onsite attendees may additionally present in
person.

Platform sessions (in person) 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 (possibly from the same research group) reporting a unique approach
to a timely topic.

Poster sessions (online and/or in person) 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.

Guidelines for abstract content. The submitted abstract should provide a
concise statement of the problem or hypothesis, procedures and analyses
conducted, results obtained, and final conclusion(s) drawn. Abstracts should
conform to the provided template and may include a maximum of 500 words
(excluding references) as well as one camera-ready figure plus one table. See
website for additional details and to download the abstract template
(http://www2.academyofaphasia.org/submission-procedures/).

Conference participation. The meeting is open to anyone interested in
attending. However, Academy of Aphasia members, authors of accepted papers,
and the first authors of rejected papers will have preference if onsite or
virtual space limitations restrict the number of registrants.

- American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) Continuing Education
Units (CEUs) will be available free of charge for eligible conference
participants, pending approval of a cooperative agreement between Temple
University and the Academy of Aphasia. The number of CEUs is anticipated to be
approximately 2.0 (CEUs will be updated once the program is finalized, prior
to registration).

- Onsite childcare can be arranged for attendees who need it through our NIH
funding support.

Submission procedures. Abstracts must be submitted online at
tinyurl.com/aoa2022abstracts. Submission information is also available on the
Academy’s website (http://www2.academyofaphasia.org/submission-procedures/). 

Student Awards. This award is given to the student presenting the most
scientifically meritorious paper (either platform or poster presentation). See
website for eligibility information
(http://www2.academyofaphasia.org/submission-procedures/).

Selection criteria for the meeting program. Abstracts will be reviewed by the
Program Committee. Selection of papers will be based on scientific merit,
innovation, appropriateness for the Academy of Aphasia, and on the
representation of topics in the program.

Notification regarding acceptance: The Program Committee will email a decision
no later than July 18, 2022.

Program availability. A PDF eBook with formatted abstracts will be available
during the conference.

Program Committee: E. Susan Duncan (Chair), Paola Marangolo (Co-Vice Chair),
Gloria Olness (Co-Vice Chair), Adrià Rofes, Tatiana Schnur, Shari Baum, Eva
Kehayia, and Gabriele Miceli
