Institute of Education CCM Doctoral Seminar Series

11th June 2019

17.00-20.00

Room 537, IOE Bedford Way, WC1H 0AL

 

Call for Papers: deadline 21^st May

 

Following the huge success of our recent event, the Department of Culture, Communication and Media, UCL Institute of Education, would like to invite PhD students and colleagues from partner universities to a second doctoral seminar to be held at the IoE in June.

 

Building on our existing weekly, lunchtime departmental seminars, the two doctoral events are part of a Researcher-Led Initiative that has been funded by UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme. The seminars have been designed to bring together researchers from different institutions, with the aim of increasing collegiality, as well as stimulating discussion, debate and collaboration, in areas of shared interest.

 

As such, the sessions move away from the tradition of individual presentations, to focus on the alternative format of panel discussion. Chaired by a student convener, each panel is expected to have 3 paper contributions (15-20 minutes each, combined time not to exceed 60 minutes), before the floor is opened to the wider audience for an additional 30 minutes. The seminars will also incorporate time for networking and socialising during and after the panel event.

 

For the second and last of these seminars, we invite panel proposals from doctoral and MRes students, working in any area of socio- and applied linguistics. Submissions should include:

 

1. panel title;
2. name of the panel convener;
3. a short rationale for the panel as a whole (max 300 words);
4. abstracts for each of the individual papers in the expected order of delivery (max 200 words each);
5. name of the discussant;
6. bios of the proposer and speakers in separate page (200 words each max).

Preference will be given to panel proposals which consist of members of different institutions. All proposals should be submitted to the organisers at ccmstudentseminars@gmail.com

 

The deadline for proposals is 21st May 2019. Accepted proposals will be notified by 27th May 2019.

 

For more information on the seminars, please contact the organisers, Ayse Gur Geden, Sara Young or Emma Brooks.

There is no fee for attending the seminars, but we ask you to reserve your place via Eventbrite, so that we are able to cater appropriately for the event. Food, coffee and refreshments will be served.
