Call for Proposals: Student Research Forum

Student Research Forum is a series in which BGC students organize a thematic or discipline-based mini-symposium to present their research to the community. These will run from 12 to 1:30 pm in the Lecture Hall with students presenting 10 minute papers followed by questions and discussion. We welcome 300-word proposals from groups of three to four students for an early spring 2022 symposium. Proposals must include the name of the symposium, a list of students participating and working titles for their papers, and the name of a faculty member who has agreed to advise on the symposium. Students will introduce and moderate the event, the faculty advisor will be available to advise on content and offer guidance on presenting a paper. Proposals will be reviewed by a committee of students and the Chair of Academic Programs. Proposals should be emailed to jen.ha@bgc.bard.edu by Friday, October 15. We will notify groups as to the status of their proposal by Friday, October 22 and will work with selected groups to find a date for the event.
