SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

31st Australasian Experimental Psychology Conference (EPC'04)
16-18 April 2004
University of Otago

The 31st Australasian Experimental Psychology Conference (EPC'04)
will be held at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand from
Friday to Sunday, 16-18 April, 2004. The conference provides a forum
for researchers to present work across the broad spectrum of
experimental psychology. The Keynote speaker will be Professor
Michael Corballis.

To have a paper considered for inclusion in the conference programme,
please send an abstract. Abstracts for papers on research in any area
of experimental psychology will be considered. Papers will likely
consist of 20 minutes presentation time plus 10 minutes for questions.

If you and some colleagues are working on similar topics, we strongly
encourage you to organise a symposium. Symposia will run in 90-minute
or two-hour slots. You will need to coordinate submission of
abstracts along with a 150-word abstract for the entire symposium
stating its rationale, aims, and the names of proposed speakers and
discussant. Please let us know as early as possible before 30 January
2004 if you are planning a symposium.

ABSTRACTS (150 words) and proposals for SYMPOSIA are due FRIDAY, 30
JANUARY 2004. Details of abstract submission will be available
shortly on the web site.

We look forward to welcoming you to EPC'04.

Robert O'Shea and the EPC'04 Organising Committee:
Brent Alsop, Melanie Black, Kerry Buchan, Jamin Halberstadt, and Janice Murray.

UPDATE

If you have received this message only as a forwarded message, or via
another mailing list, please make sure you join the EPC'04 mailing
list. You do so by e-mailing your name and contact details to
epc@psy.otago.ac.nz. That will ensure that you receive future
mailings.

We have set the registration fee: for those registering on or before
12/03/04, it is NZ$135 for a full-time student and NZ$185 for others;
for those registering after 12/03/04, the fee is $50 more.

We have revised the web site. It now contains News, Local Information
(including About Dunedin, Maps, Accommodation, Local Climate, What to
Wear, Tours, and Useful Links), and General Information (including
About EPC, About the Society, About New Zealand, Exchange Rates, and
whether you need to apply beforehand for a visa to travel to New
Zealand [you probably won't]).

The information on the history of the conference and of the Society
is quite scanty. If you can fill in any of the gaps, I'd be delighted
to hear from you.

Cheers,
Robert.
