How do I get to Tepoztlán?
Please see, "While in Tepoztlán."
Where can I find the theory readings?
The theory readings will be made available to participants in a Dropbox folder. Make sure you have an account (www.dropbox.com)! If you have problems accessing the readings, please email us at tepoinstitute@gmail.com.
Where are the participant papers, and when and where should I send my paper?
In a Dropbox folder. Papers are due by June 22, and you will receive access information by email ahead of the May 20 deadline for uploading abstracts. If it is after May 10 and you have not received that information, please email tepoinstitute@gmail.com and we will resend. Only admitted participants have access to the papers, and participants are asked to use the papers uploaded there as works in progress, not to be circulated or cited without permission from the author.
How should I format my paper for the Dropbox folder?
Word or pdf files. 25-page limit (double-spaced). Citations and notes in the style of your choice. Label your document with the author(s)’s last name + Tepo16. Examples: YoungTepo16.pdf, PeñaNietoTepo16.docx, ShakiraTepo16.pdf (for people who go by one name and have hips that don’t lie. If you have two documents, use last name plus an identifying word. Examples: BriggsEmpireTepo16.pdf, BriggsImágenesTepo16.pdf). In the actual text, please begin with your title, name and affiliation, contact information and an informal, short preface connecting your piece explicitly to the conference theme and one or more of the shared theory readings. Please include a short (2-3 sentence) explanation of what type of work it is (an article, chapter, work in progress, and so forth) to orient the reader.
Is there a page limit?
Oh yes! No more than 25 pages. If your submission is longer than 25 double-spaced pages, we will ask you to reduce it to the allowed length.
What are the guidelines for papers?
25 pages or less, notation style of your choice
Saved as Word or pdf files
Carefully labeled with “Author(s) last name(s) + Tepo16”

What are the different modes of participation?
Institute participants have two options for participation. Every participant serves as a respondent, facilitator, and/or interlocutor, 1-3 times during the Institute week. Some serve in those capacities only, and do not submit a paper (Category A). Some submit a paper to be scheduled into a programmed session, where commentators will offer brief responses and the group as a whole will discuss it (Category B).
A – No paper. A participant in this category, in honorable Institute tradition, posts no paper but simply makes herself available as dominatrix (moderator), commentator, and full session discussant. This is a perfectly respected, productive, highly enjoyable way to participate in the Institute. We need just over half the participants to opt for this category.
B – Paper programmed into a scheduled session. This participant will also dominatrix and/or comment.
