Submission Deadline: February 19, 2010
Research Project Submission Criteria:
* Both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit their work, and both paper and visually-based project submissions will be accepted.
* Accepted paper submissions will demonstrate a critical analysis of primary and secondary sources and/or the presentation of an empirical research project.
* Visually-based projects (e.g., art projects, web designs, power-point presentations, charts/models, etc.) will demonstrate a critical engagement with (or will exemplify) current research in student’s field and the field of Women’s or Gender Studies.
* Submissions may include projects from Spring/Fall 2009 OR works in progress from the current semester (Spring 2010).
* By submitting a project, the student is committing to present at the conference if her/his work is accepted. Students may be asked to present their work as part of a speaker panel OR as part of our poster session—a new feature we’re looking forward to this year.
*Students whose projects are selected for a speaker panel will deliver a 10-15 minute oral presentation at the conference that either reflects their work in a longer paper or explicates the research process(es) associated with and the attributes/purposes of a visually-based project. Students invited to participate in the poster session should be prepared to explicate and answer questions about their research through a poster designed for the conference.
Submission Instructions:
* Submit three copies of completed papers (if available) AND a 500-1000 word abstract/project description to Prof. Kirstin Hanley, Department of English, 238 Fenton Hall (mailbox in 277 Fenton). Include a separate cover sheet with your name, email address, phone number, major/minor, the semester and course the paper/project came from, and the name of the instructor who is overseeing the project.
