The 2025 ISAN (February 28-March 2, 2025) will provide scholars and practitioners of all experience levels an opportunity to present their autoethnographic and personal narrative projects and to participate in dialogue and sociability with scholars across a variety of disciplines. The format will be similar to the past ISANs (see “Past Symposia and Events” page). The call-for-submissions will be posted here on June 1, 2024.
