The graduate students’ Society for Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies (SALaDS) is excited to present our 14th Annual Graduate Student Symposium! This year’s event will be held on Thursday, March 14th, 2019, in Dunton Tower, Room 2017, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. The theme is “Connecting Through Language”.
Call for Proposals
Our goal is to bring upper-year undergraduate and graduate student researchers from Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies (ALDS) together with faculty and fellow students from the School of Linguistics and Language Studies (SLaLS) and related disciplines in a supportive atmosphere to share ideas and discuss recent projects. We welcome and encourage abstract proposals for poster presentations based on coursework, research papers or theses.
All abstracts should be approximately 250 words max (a short paragraph), plus your title and references. Abstracts are due by 4 p.m. on Friday, February 15, 2019. The Symposium application, which includes a space for your abstract, should be submitted using our online submission form here. We will confirm the acceptance of your abstract the week of February 25.
The Call for Proposals is attached, and this along with a link to the online Submission Form will be posted on the SALaDS CULearn page in the section for Symposium information.
