Conference themes

The major theme of the conference is "Style and cultural differences – how can organisations, regions and countries take advantage of style differences?". However, submissions on all aspects of style will be considered.

ELSIN 2008 particularly welcomes papers, workshops, or symposia that focus on key issues such as:

1. Cultural and context differences in style

2. Style differences in human performance across global corporate settings

3. Networking knowledge production and dissemination in style research

4. Collaboration

5. Developing methodologies for researching style in human performance

6. Putting style research into practice in the classroom

7. Style test development and psychometrics

This is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Submissions can be empirical or theoretical/conceptual. The key criteria for ELSIN 2008 are that (a) submissions should be conceptually, theoretically, and methodologically sound, and (b) that they address an interesting, relevant, and original issue in the area of styles and strategies of learning and thinking. These are the criteria upon which submissions will be assessed.
