Emerging Insights into the Social: Advancing Multidisciplinary 
Conversations About the Future

The Sociology & Anthropology Graduate Student Caucus (SAGSC) Conference Committee at Carleton University welcomes submissions to its 9th annual graduate student conference, a hybrid event taking place on March 25. The committee aims to provide an academic platform where graduate students across disciplines may share their unique empirical research and theoretical insights.

This conference is multidisciplinary and invites submissions from all Carleton graduate students whose research involves a critical examination of the social. Broadly speaking, this includes any research that involves relationships, structures, and shared ways of living within a community or broader society. The goal of this conference is for graduate students to gain experience sharing their work in front of an academic audience. Therefore, we welcome presentations on uncompleted projects, including sharing of preliminary findings, outputs from arts-based methods, as well as presentations on completed research.

Submission Information:
Please submit a 200-word abstract about your 15-minute presentation with a brief 50-word biography and contact information in a Microsoft Word document by Jan. 31 to: sagsc.cu@outlook.com. Presenters will be notified of their acceptance by Feb. 20.

If you have any questions, including if you are unsure if your topic fits within the call for submissions, you can reach out to us at sagsc.cu@outlook.com.
