CALL FOR PROPOSALS 5th Annual Conference on Engaged Graduate Scholarship

Imagining America’s CNY PAGE initiative eagerly invites you to submit proposals for our 5th Annual Graduate Conference:

This year’s publicly active graduate student conference explores the theme of Engaged Scholarship Across the Disciplines. Recognizing that public scholarship takes many forms and engages a variety of different communities and disciplines, we invite proposals that animate intellectual, community-based, and/or arts projects within and across all disciplines that consider the collaborative knowledge-making
process with, by and for publics. What forms does public scholarship take in your discipline? What kinds of connections across disciplines and with diverse communities are available? How do collaborative projects with the community inform your discipline? What types of methods cultivate cross-disciplinary and cross-community engaged scholarship?

To explore the varied and cross/interdisciplinary forms engaged work takes, we invite graduate students with a commitment to public scholarship to submit proposals for the 5th Annual Central New York Conference on Public Scholarship in Graduate Education on April 20 at Syracuse University.

We are particularly interested in proposals that increase our understanding of the following:
How graduate students define and understand engaged work within their discipline.
How all (inter)disciplines of scholarship can and do work with and by community stakeholders, and what these practices look like.
Innovative forms of scholarship and practice. We are keenly interested in supporting panels that include a combination of graduate scholars, artists and one or more community partners.

We look forward to a robust and dynamic 5th Annual Conference!
