Two Keynote Speakers on the First Day of ICON LATERALS III, Karl Ian Uy Cheng Chua, Ph.D., and Prof. Michael Harrington
On November 5th to 6th, 2022, the Faculty of Cultural Studies (FCS) Universitas Brawijaya (UB) successfully held the first international seminar of the four available series. In the first series entitled “ICON LATERALS III: Building Interdisciplinary Perspective in Literature, Linguistics, and Cultural Studies”, there were fourteen sub-themes that the presenters could choose to present.
In the first stage, participants who want to be speakers had to register by choosing the attendance category among the four international seminar series that can be selected. Next, prospective presenters had to adjust the research results into the abstract template provided and upload it to the OJS system listed.
Before the payment stage, prospective presenters were asked to wait a few days to get a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) as a sign of the abstract acceptance so that prospective presenters could proceed to the payment to become a presenter. After paying and confirming, the presenter could upload the full article according to the format of the provisions. Participants were also invited to WhatsApp groups for further coordination from the committee.
