Stop Day Colloquium - University of Kansas Department of Spanish and Portuguese

A GRASP y los miembros de la facultad nos complace anunciar el primer congreso del Departamento para nuestros estudiantes graduados. Esperamos que haya bastante interés en participar en el congreso que podamos planear uno por semestre o año. Abajo se puede leer el anuncio original. Recuerden que la fecha límite para las propuestas es el 3 de diciembre.

Call for Participants

Are you preparing to make a conference presentation and want to practice your delivery with a friendly audience? Are you considering submitting a paper for a conference and seeking constructive feedback on your work? Do you want to have the professional experience of presenting your work to a scholarly audience without incurring the costs of conference travel?

GRASP and the department's faculty invite you to submit a brief description and title (no more than 100 words) to participate in the Stop Day Colloquium, an informal forum for sharing your work with your colleagues and professors. We hope to make the colloquium a regular event in the future, but first we need to gauge the interest of the department's graduate students in participating in this new initiative. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes (normally the equivalent of 9-10 pages of double-spaced text), the standard allotment for conference presentations. Whether you're exploring the experience of reading a paper to an academic audience for the first time or looking to polish your skills before your next conference performance, this event is meant to foster this important aspect of professional development. Feel free to contact your GRASP representatives (graspku@gmail.com), Professor Rivera (ijrivera@ku.edu) or Professor Bayliss (rbayliss@ku.edu) for further information. Proposals are due by Wednesday, December 3.
