PDWs are developmental sessions designed to promote interaction, learning, and methodological or conceptual advancement. Formats may include workshops, debates, paper development forums, archival or methodological sessions, structured conversations, or interdisciplinary dialogues. Proposals should align with the Division's focus on temporality and the historical situatedness of organized action, and should offer clear developmental value and opportunities for active participation. Submissions are welcome from scholars at all career stages, including non-members of the Division, and from teams representing diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
