Call for Papers
You are invited to submit a proposal for a paper, presentation, roundtable, or poster session at the 1st OISE/UT Student Research Conference: "Diverse Perspectives in Education from the OISE/UT Community". The Conference is an exciting opportunity for students to show the findings of their completed (or nearly-completed) research studies, and to publish their work. The conference is open to participants from all constituencies of the OISE/UT community. Participants are invited to present in either French or English.
Session Types:
Paper Session
Length: 20 minutes
Each author will present an abbreviated version of his or her paper. Three to four papers will be presented at each session. A discussion will conclude each session.
Presentation Session
Length: 20 minutes
Some or all of the material brought forward for discussion will be presented through a "live" performance (readers theatre, dance, music, etc.). Introductory remarks, overview of research, questions, discussion, or problem-solving may precede or follow.
Roundtable Session
Length: 40 minutes
Interaction with the presenters is maximized by eliminating the formal didactic presentation. Presenters are assigned numbered tables in a large meeting room where interested persons may gather for discussion with the presenter about his or her paper or project. Presenters guide the discussion with a brief introduction, and provide a hand-out which will facilitate explanation of the topic for discussion.
Poster Session
Length: 60 minutes
Poster sessions combine graphic displays with the opportunity for individualized informal discussions between participants and presenters. The audience is welcome to peruse at will among poster stations. Presenters are encouraged to provide handout materials.
