The Sociology Graduate Student Association will be hosting an Interdisciplinary Social Science Symposium (ISSS) on Tuesday, March 11th (description below).  We are hoping to attract Graduate students from a wide array of disciplines to discuss their current research and exchange ideas with one another.

This ISSS is meant for researchers at all stages (including first year students), and the more participants the better!  Attached is a submission form which is due by 2/25, and it includes a brief description of the symposium.  Please  email completed submission forms to Jared at jaredstr@buffalo.edu.  This is a great opportunity for graduate students to refine their research projects, and to add something to their CV.

In addition to the Symposium, we will be having a Keynote Speaker.  The speaker is Phil Veliz, a recent Graduate of the UB Sociology PhD program that is currently a Research Fellow at the University at Michigan.  His CV is here for anyone that is interested in taking a look.

Interdisciplinary Social Science Symposium (ISSS)

Rethinking the Human Experience: An Interdisciplinary Conversation

The Sociology Graduate Student Association is excited to announce the First Annual Interdisciplinary Social Science Symposium (ISSS) on Tuesday, March 11th, from 1:00pm-6:00pm.  The theme for the symposium is “Rethinking the Human Experience: An Interdisciplinary Conversation.”  The purpose of the ISSS is to bring together graduate students that have similar substantive interests, but approach their research with different theoretical and disciplinary perspectives.  Submissions will be organized into substantive sessions, and participants will be able to select between roundtable, panel, and poster session formats.  Food and beverage will be provided for all participants.
