Graduate Students' Union

The Graduate Students’ Union of Memorial University cordially invites you to submit a conference presentation at this year’s National Aldrich Interdisciplinary Conference.

The conference will take place from March 2nd – 4th, 2012 and will feature academic presentations, professional development workshops, and a host of social activities.

Abstracts should be approximately 250 words in length, and should be in response to one of the three themes: Responding to Occupy Wall Street, The Possibilities of Pedagogy, and Testing the Boundaries of Methods & Methodology.  Please indicate your name, faculty, home university, and contact information somewhere on your abstract.  Submit abstracts to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
