Please consider joining colleagues for five days of networking in beautiful downtown Chicago. Invited speakers include Margaret Clark, Pearl Dykstra, Julie Fitness, Jacki Fitzpatrick, Brian Spitzberg, and Anita Vangelisti. Submissions: The Program Committee invites proposals for symposia, papers, posters, roundtables, and interest groups on topics relevant to research and practice in social and personal relationships. Detailed information about the conference (e.g., how to submit proposals, how to register for the conference) is available on the conference website (http://iarr2012conference.com/). Submissions should be sent electronically via the conference website beginning November 1, 2011. The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2011.

Paper: An oral presentation (approximately 10-15 minutes) that summarizes an empirical investigation or theoretical analysis of a topic.

The symposium may also include a discussant who integrates and critiques the presentations. Poster: A visual presentation (on a 4' by 8' poster) which summarizes an empirical investigation or theoretical analysis of a topic. Roundtable: A one-hour discussion on a specific theme or issue. The roundtable is led by one or two speakers. The speaker(s) could begin with a 10-15 minute presentation that introduces the topic and/or provide(s) materials that help define the issues. Colleagues who attend the roundtable sessions will have opportunities to participate in the discussions. Interest Group Meeting: An opportunity for scholars with common interests and questions to engage in discussion. The group meetings provide opportunities for colleagues to share ideas, ask questions, and explore research initiatives for the purpose of building networks. Submission Requirements: 1.
