Abstracts for our online IIRC20 themed conference "Gathering of Indigenous Minds" (18th – 20th November 2020) have been extended by one week: now due Friday 28th August 2020.
We invite Indigenous researchers around the world to submit abstracts for consideration and for inclusion in our IIRC20 programme. In addition to our set conference themes, we are calling for Indigenous researchers to consider implications and solutions arising from navigating through the COVID-19 global pandemic. A dedicated stream to discuss COVID-19 from an Indigenous perspective will feature at IIRC20.
ABSTRACTS CLOSE FRIDAY 28th August 2020 (NZ time)
All abstracts for IIRC20 must be submitted online through the Submission Portal using the abstract template before the above deadline.
Submitted abstracts will be notified of the outcome via email by Friday 11 September 2020 and all presenters with accepted abstracts must submit a pre-recorded video by Friday 09 October 2020.
Presenters must also register to attend IIRC20 by Friday 12 October 2020
