How BAAM Works:
The BAAM convention is a multi-track, session-oriented
academic meeting. The BAAM convention generally opens with an invited
keynote address by an internationally known scholar speaking on
a topic of general interest to BAAM attendees. Following the keynote
address, breakout sessions on a variety of topics occur throughout
the day. These sessions are either selected from submitted proposals
or invited by BAAM. A poster session featuring research by scholars
from regional universities ends the convention. BAAM also features
participatory workshops, usually by invited presenters, on topics
of practical interest to BAAM attendees. Workshops are longer than
most sessions and generally require the payment of an additional
fee. Registered attendees may attend the keynote address, any regular
or invited session, and any open meeting on the day or days for
which they are registered. Workshops are open only to those who
have paid the workshop fee.
Registration Cost: At the door registration fees for regular members are expected to be about $60/both days; $35/one day. For students, $30/both days; $25/one day. You may pay by cash, check, or credit card (Mastercard or Visa only). Advance registration saves $5 to $10. (Fees subject to change.)
Location: The meetings will be held at the Student Center on the Campus of Eastern Michigan University. This is a brand new building on Eastern's campus (Campus Map). Get off of Washtenaw/Cross and take Oakwood North. The New Student Center is about 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Washtenaw and Oakwood on your right. (It can also be accessed by going south on Oakwood off of Huron River Drive.) Enter the Student Center and go to the south end of the 2nd Floor for registration .

Free parking is available for all registered attendees and other ticketed lots on campus (Regular cost is $5/day). The New Student Center lot is on Oakwood Street, which intersects Washtenaw/Cross Street on the South End and and Huron River Drive on the North. Take Oakwood north off Washtenaw/Cross. Then, after about 1/4 mile, the entrance is on your right. Don't be late or parking could fill. There is overflow parking in the Oakwood parking lot (first right off of Oakwood from Washtenaw/Cross. You may park in any general-entry lot that provides a validation ticket. Bring your ticket to be validated.
Meals and Hotels: BAAM will provide some light snacks in the mornings from 8-9 and during the poster session on Friday afternoon from 4 -6 pm. Otherwise meals are the responsibility of the attendees. See our online dining guide for information about nearby eateries. The New Student Center offers a variety of dining choices right in the center. BAAM will also include a list of nearby restaurants in the materials given to registered attendees. Hotel accommodations are also the responsibility of the attendee. BAAM does not have an official convention hotel, but you can find a list of nearby Accommodations in our online hotel accommodation guide or in the materials provided to registrants.
Disability accommodations : If you require accommodations for a recognized disability, please let BAAM know in advance so that we can coordinate with the appropriate university offices.
Cell Phones: Keep cell phones and similar communications devices in silent or vibrate mode. If you must answer your phone, please move discretely out of the room to have your conversation. If you know in advance that you might receive an essential call, please sit where you will not cause a disruption if you must leave or return.
Wireless Internet: Wireless internet access on the EMU Campus is password restricted. EMU faculty, staff, and students may use their regular access privileges. BAAM will make arrangements for temporary wireless access for non-EMU convention registrants.

Such recordings cannot not be posted, sold, or transcribed for broader distribution or sale except with the expressed written permission of the presenters and BAAM. Recording in meetings, private gatherings, and other contexts that are not open to the general public, where there might be an expectation of privacy, is at the discretion of the attendees.
