* Wikipedia defines contingent work, casual work, or contract work as “an employment relationship with limited job security, payment on a piece work basis, typically part-time (typically with variable hours) that is considered non-permanent.”  The category as used here is intended to acknowledge the precarity of many academic roles and to support those less able to pay, not freelance or consultant staff with significant incomes. 

Please read the policies below before registering.

Cancellation and Registration Policy

Refunds for conference fees will not be available (other than in the unlikely event that the conference does not take place, as detailed below). If you are concerned about your ability to attend, you could choose to wait to register until just before the conference begins, though you would not be able to see the conference program or access any talks or essays made available in advance on the Zoom Events site until you enrol.  Given that the conference registration fees are relatively modest, we hope this policy will not unduly inconvenience delegates.

In the unlikely event that SHARP 2023 fails to occur due to unforeseen circumstances, registration fees will be refunded less any PayPal charges deducted.

Further information for presenters

We will do our best to work with presenters to ensure that presentation times are practical for all involved.  However, we reserve the right to make changes to the published program, for example to timings or speakers if one of the advertised speakers is unable to attend.

In the event you are unable to present as scheduled due to illness or other personal or technical disruptions, it may still be possible to add a recording of your talk to the archive that will be available to all those registered to attend the conference.  Archive access will remain available for at least a month following the conference.

Privacy Policy

SHARP collects only the data required to enable you to register within Zoom Events and to facilitate connections among delegates with shared interests.  Beyond the very basic details of name and email, you will choose what else you disclose.  The information collected via the registration form and Zoom Events portal will not be used for anything beyond running the conference, enabling Zoom Events to email you notifications specific to the conference, and allowing SHARP to administer the post-conference survey.  You will have the opportunity to communicate with publishers and other exhibitors, who may ask you for contact details, but SHARP will not be providing those exhibitors with any personal data.

In turn, we ask that you not allow others to login to Zoom Events using your credentials, ensure that you practice good Zoom etiquette during sessions, and communicate via chat, Twitter and other media in appropriately thoughtful and scholarly ways.  We aim to make SHARP 2023 as interactive as possible within the constraints of an online conference, and we ask you to do your part in making virtual SHARP as friendly and welcoming a place as SHARP’s in-person conferences have always been.
