Submitted by Emma McGeachy

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 February 15, 2012:

gsrs2012@ucalgary.ca

Selected participants will be notified by the third week of February for confirmation of attendance. Presentations will be 15 minutes in length. There is no registration fee for this conference.

We kindly request that faculty and graduate students forward this message to interested parties and related university departments.

If you have any questions, please direct them to:
