CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: ped(ANTICS): Research as an Enterprise of Unapologetic Imagination and Creativity

The Sociology Graduate Students’ Caucus of the University of Calgary would
like to announce the call for research abstracts for the 8th Annual Graduate Students’ Research Symposium on March 8-9, 2012. The title of
this year's conference is “ped(ANTICS)”.

The pedantic playground is a space in which research is an enterprise of
unapologetic imagination and curiosity. The 8th Annual Graduate Students’
Research Symposium presents a welcoming and stimulating platform for
graduate students to share research on all topics and from all angles.
Students from across the range of social sciences and humanities are
welcome to participate in this interdisciplinary event – a celebration of
research, community and articulately imagined possibilities.

For consideration, graduate students should submit a 150-word (max) abstract to the following email address by January 31, 2012:

gsrs2012@ucalgary.ca

Selected participants will be notified by the first week of February for
confirmation of attendance. Presentations will be 15 minutes in length.
There is no registration fee for this conference. Subsidies for student accommodation may be available.
