Eighth Annual Graduate Student Colloquium in Armenian Studies

University of California, Los Angeles, Friday, February 19, 2010

We enthusiastically invite graduate students and recent post-docs (Ph.D.,
within the last two years) in fields associated with Armenian Studies
(broadly defined) to present their recent research. Work in progress is
encouraged. We accept papers from a variety of disciplines and welcome
comparative themes and interdisciplinary approaches. Panel submissions are
also welcome.

Applicants must e-mail presentation abstracts of no more than 250 words and
their curriculum vitae by September 20, 2009. Please attach the required
documents in the form of a Word document. Please note that a 20-minute time
limit for presentations will be strictly enforced (roughly 8-10 pages
double-spaced). Invited participants will be required to submit a final
version of their full presentation by December 21, 2009.

A reception will be held on the Thursday evening prior to the event to
welcome the colloquium speakers. Students will have an opportunity to meet
with faculty and students on campus, tour Armenian Studies resources, and
visit Armenian Studies classes. The colloquium will conclude with a
reception.

Priority of acceptance will be given to those who have not presented at the
colloquium before. Limited travel grants will be available to assist those
who would otherwise be unable to attend. Travel grant applications will be
sent to all invited participants.
