We are excited to announce the 2016 Borderlands graduate research symposium. Inspired by a working group sponsored by El Instituto: Institute of Latina/o, Caribbean, and Latin American Studies, this two-day symposium seeks to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss & generate critical scholarship, network, and grow as intellectuals, both in and outside of the academy. As a symposium centered on graduate research, the Borderlands planning committee looks forward to proposals from graduate students, along with junior and non-traditional scholars from any field. All proposals should include an abstract of 250 words or less. Submission types can draw on all theories, methods, and formats, including: Individual papers, wholly constituted sessions, workshops on specific topics or methodological approaches, andPoster presentations.
The full Call for Proposals is attached below. Send all responses to borderlands.uconn@gmail.com by April 5th, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. Please share this information with your networks as we hope to see a diverse group of attendees across disciplines, levels of research, and institutional affiliations. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Updates will be posted on the Borderlands blog (https://uconnborderlands2016.wordpress.com/ ).
