To propose a paper, please submit a title and a 250-word abstract of your paper and a short bio by October 10, 2023 to mcnickle@newberry.org. Please submit your abstract as a separate word document or PDF and ensure your name and paper title are included in the document.
The papers will be grouped into 90-minute sessions, including 15 minutes of commentary from the audience. All accepted presenters will be notified by November 2023. There is no registration fee, but you will be prompted to register prior to the event.
The NCAIS Graduate Conference is a unique opportunity to present your work to and network with other students and faculty in the consortium. One student from each NCAIS institution will be eligible for two nights in a local hotel courtesy of the D’Arcy McNickle Center, as well as up to $300 of reimbursement toward their travel expenses.
