Hello students,
The ASA Student Forum Advisory Board (SFAB) would like to invite students to submit their papers for participation in the 2015 Annual Meeting held in Chicago, IL. Papers are peer reviewed and up to five papers will be selected to present in one of two paper sessions. Those who are not selected will be considered for round table session. This year the theme of the conference is Sexualities and we encourage student to submit on the topic theme (though it is not necessary).
Each year the SFAB also selects a paper award winner out of the collection of papers we receive. The winner receives a $100 award upon notification and a $225 Student Forum travel award to help defray travel expenses to the Annual Meeting.
The online paper submission portal is now open and will be until the January 7, 2015 (3 PM EST) deadline. For more information about the award, submissions, and funding available to students please visit our webpage:http://www.asanet.org/students/forum.cfm
Call for Reviewers
The ASA SFAB team would like to invite students and faculty members to volunteer as reviewers for this year’s student paper submissions. Papers are peer reviewed and each year up to five papers are selected to be in one of two paper sessions. Those who are not selected will be considered for round table session. This year the theme of the conference is Sexualities, and we encourage students to submit on the topic theme (though it is not necessary).
Each year the SFAB also selects a paper award winner, based on reviewer input, out of the collection of papers we receive. The winner receives a $100 award upon notification and a $225 Student Forum travel to help defray travel expenses to the Annual Meeting.
The 2015 online paper submission portal is now open and will remain open until the deadline on January 7, 2015 at 3pm EST. Reviewers will need to be available between mid-January and the end of February for the process. New this year is an invitation to faculty members that would also like to volunteer their time to review. This was added in order to make our internal review process more rigorous and provide additional support to those students who wish to publish in the future.
If you are interested please see the attached form and peer review document and return to Nicole MacInnis no later than January 15, 2015. For more information about the award, submissions, peer review, paper processes, and funding available to students please visit our webpage http://www.asanet.org/students/forum.cfm.
Please feel free to pass the call for papers and call for reviewers to anyone interested, both students and faculty members. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Nicole.
Enjoy your winter break,
The Student Forum Advisory Panel
