All undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and practitioners in the field of education:

You are invited to submit a proposal to the University of Florida’s third annual College of Education Student Research Symposium, sponsored by the Education College Council (ECC) and Student Alliance of Graduates in Education (SAGE). The date of this year’s Symposium is Thursday, April 5th, 2018.

During this 50th anniversary year of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., our theme, “A Critical Collaboration in ‘Times of Challenge and Controversy’”, serves as both a tribute and a call to action. The symposium intends to facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue and, to that end, we hope this annual event will draw interest across all three schools within the college.

As in previous years, we understand the term “research” broadly and welcome submissions of original social science research, historical inquiry, practitioner inquiry, and other research projects that further our knowledge and understanding of education in a variety of settings, both formal and informal. Faculty members who have worked with undergraduate and graduate students and intern/mentor teacher pairs who have engaged in practitioner inquiry are especially encouraged to submit.

For more information about proposal formatting and submission, please see the attached “Call for Proposals” document and the submission link below. The deadline for all proposal submissions is March 1st, 2018. Submission link.

If you have any questions about the submission process or presentation formats, please contact SAGE President, Brittney Castanheira at brit1013@ufl.edu. Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering to help with the Symposium, either before or during the event, please contact SAGE officer, Masashi Otani at motani@ufl.edu or click here to sign up now!
