The Department of French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies announces:
A Graduate Student Poster Competition
In connection with the 2018 Graduate Student symposium, the Department of French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies is pleased to offer a prize of $200 for the best student research poster presented.
This competition is open to all graduate students in the department, whether MA or PhD, even those, who are done with coursework, who will be also giving a 20-minute presentation of their work in progress. It is also open to those who may in addition be submitting a short video introduction to their research interests.
Though both the content and the format of the poster are up to you, we suggest that you could use it to outline an MA or PhD thesis or chapter, your ideas for such a thesis, or as a way to present (say) a paper that you have written for a graduate course.
- Posters should either be printed (at a standard size such as 42” x 48”) and displayed in the room, or contained in a single PowerPoint slide, to be submitted via email to Jon and Marisol by noon on Thursday, April 12.
- You will have five minutes to present your posters during the colloquium (provisionally, these presentations are scheduled to be immediately after lunch).
- The prizewinner will be determined by FHIS faculty and awarded at the end of the day. The winner will also receive a certificate from the department, as will the second place winner of an “honorable mention.”
- The faculty comprising the jury for the competition are: Jon Beasley-Murray, Marisol Fernández, Nancy Frelick, André Lamontagne, Brianne Orr, with Joël Castonguay as chair.
Note that if you are thinking of printing your poster (which we recommend), please tell us as soon as possible. If we have at least 10 printed posters, then we can secure a group rate at a significant saving for printing, and so help with the organizing of this.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to be in touch.
