I'm new to TaPRA. How does TaPRA work?

TaPRA is made up of 13 working groups. When you apply to present at the conference, you will apply to one of these working groups. Each working group has a distinct Call for Papers but the deadlines are the same. If you take a look at the programme, you will see that the majority of time is given over to the working groups.

Although working groups like their presenters to stay with them throughout the three days, to have a developing conversation, any delegate is able to attend any of the other working group sessions. If you are not presenting a paper and plan to join a working group for the duration, it is advised that you email the relevant working group convenors in advance of attendance, only so that you can be added to any pre-conference mailings.

Besides working group activities, the conference is made up of plenaries and open panels. Plenaries are sessions where all delegates are together in one room and these are either sessions arranged by TaPRA (such as panels from the previous year's prizewinners) or by the host institution. Open panels are sessions where only half of the working groups meet. This allows working group members to see what is happening in other working groups. Open panels sometimes also include a number of curated panels.

If you have any questions about how TaPRA works, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Childcare

We appreciate that conferencing and childcare don't always go well together. We are a child-friendly conference and will do our best to accommodate your needs. We hope that all delegates will respect that some others will need to bring children to parts of the event in order to be able to participate. Please do get in touch if you are concerned about childcare and wish to discuss your circumstances.
