Research Project Submission Criteria:

* 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., posters, web-design projects, power-point presentations, charts/models, etc.) will demonstrate a critical engagement with (or will exemplify) current research in students’ field and the field of Women’s or Gender Studies. While traditional paper submissions are always welcome, we strongly encourage students who have worked on visually-based projects to submit this year. If you’re doing field-specific research that explores/addresses gender-related issues, please consider submitting your work!

* By submitting a project, the student is committing to present at the conference if her or his work is accepted.
* The students whose projects are chosen will deliver a 20 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. They will also be presented with a Dean’s Award for Excellence, which is a monetary award.
