Call for papers for Society for Disability Studies student panel & Ohio State student poster competition.
SOCIETY FOR DISABILITY STUDIES 2015
Building on the success of last year's efforts, the Society for Disability Studies Student Interest Group is hoping to put together another panel showcasing undergraduate student research at the 2015 Society forDisability Studies Conference.
As conferences are often quite foreign to undergraduates, rather than a CFP for this panel, we are seeking faculty nominations of student research projects. Thus, if you know of any undergraduates doing exciting research in Disability Studies or work that relates to this year's theme of disability and (getting it) right/s, please have them write up a 300-word abstract for their project and forward to it to Sa.Larson@emory.edu along with your "official" nomination of them and their contact info.
Please also explain to your student the financial expense of attending a conference and given the limited scholarships SDS has to give out, perhaps direct them towards possible funds for conference support at your institution. Forthcoming information on a new student scholarship opportunity to help make the conference more affordable will be sent through the listservs. Information will also be posted on the Student Caucus social media pages (links are provided below).

As the final deadline for SDS submissions is Monday, December 8, 2014, we ask that you forward these nominations and abstracts by Monday, December 1. We will notify students (and nominators) of acceptances by Friday, December 5.
If you have any questions, please send them to Stephanie Larson at Sa.Larson@Emory.edu
