Stop Day Colloquium: Spring 2010

Department of Spanish & Portuguese Stop Day Colloquium
Call for Participants

Are you preparing to make a conference presentation and want to practice your delivery with a friendly audience? Are you considering submitting a paper for a conference and seeking constructive feedback on your work? Do you want to have the professional experience of presenting your work to a scholarly audience without incurring the costs of conference travel?

GRASP and the department's faculty invite you to submit a brief description and title (no more than 100 words) to participate in the Stop Day Colloquium, an informal forum for sharing your work with your colleagues and professors. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes (normally the equivalent of 9-10 pages of double-spaced text), the standard allotment for conference presentations. Whether you're exploring the experience of reading a paper to an academic audience for the first time or looking to polish your skills before your next conference performance, the colloquium is meant to foster this important aspect of professional development. Feel free to contact your GRASP representatives, Professor Bayliss (rbayliss@ku.edu) or Professor Rivera (ijrivera@ku.edu) for further information. Proposals are due by Friday, April 30 and should be sent to either Professors Rivera or Bayliss.
