Subject: [DS-HUM] Call for Nominations: Student Caucus-Sponsored
Undergraduate Panels at SDS

Dear all,

Building on the success of last year's efforts, the Society for Disability
Studies Student Interest Group is hoping to put together another panel
showcasing undergraduate student research at the 2016 Society for Disability
Studies Conference in Phoenix.

As conferences are often quite foreign to undergraduates, rather than a CFP
for this panel, we are seeking faculty nominations of student research
projects. Thus, if you know of any undergraduates doing exciting research in
disability studies or work that relates to this year's theme of disability
in the public sphere, please have them write up a 300-word abstract for
their project and forward to it to claremul at sas.upenn.edu or clie at umich.edu
along with your "official" nomination of them and their contact info.

Please also explain to your student the financial expense of attending a
conference and given the limited scholarships SDS has to give out, perhaps
direct them towards possible funds for conference support at your
institution. Forthcoming information on a new student scholarship
opportunity to help make the conference more affordable will be sent through
the listservs. Information will also be posted on the Student Caucus social
media pages (links are provided below).

As the final deadline for SDS submissions is Tuesday, December 1, 2015, we
ask that you forward these nominations and abstracts by Monday, November
23th. We will notify students (and nominators) of acceptances by Friday,
November 27th.

We apologize for the short notice, but would heartily appreciate your
participation, seeing as the inclusion of undergraduates at SDS is a
particularly important undertaking for expanding the DS community.

If you have any questions, please send them to Clare Mullaney at
claremul at sas.upenn.edu or Crystal Yin Lie at clie at umich.edu.


Thank you,

--Clare
