The ISHS welcomes also roundtables from the numerous expertises, such as social sciences, communication and media studies, anthropology, political science, history, psychology, education, linguistics and translation, folklore, computational sciences and engineering, robotics, law, among others.
The roundtables can be proposed both by individuals and by the local organizing committee in specific cases to promote development on certain topics.
Roundtables may have one or two main proponents, and are freely organized. They also may include external debaters or the proponents themselves as debaters and mediators. Each roundtable will last 90 minutes per session, should have between three and five presenters and allow at least 15 minutes for presentation and at least 15 minutes for Q&A. Roundtable proponents are responsible for keeping track of the time during the presentations and for moderating the discussion.
Each proponent is also responsible for gathering all the necessary information for the submission. Individuals may submit the panel proposal through a form provided by the conference’s website. In case of any doubt, please write to the conference convenors at humorstudies@midia.uff.br
The proposal must include:
-
Title and brief description (one to two short lines) about the interests covered by the roundtable.
-
List of respective authors and their mini-bios. All authors must have agreed to compose the roundtable. Authors must also register to the conference separately.
Both the proposers and all presenters must be registered beforehand, and, if the roundtable is approved, everyone must have paid the registration fee for the conference. Authors and proponents of roundtables are also allowed to propose panels and submit individual papers, if they so wish.
Please submit your proposal by February 27, 2026, using the button below.
