Plans are underway for the 2012 Division C Graduate Student Seminar, which will be held Thursday, April 12 and Friday, April 13 prior to the AERA Annual Meeting in Vancouver. This year Susan Yoon (University of Pennsylvania) is serving as chair and Lisa Linnenbrink-Garcia (Duke University) is serving as vice-chair.
The objective of the seminar is to provide graduate students who are members of AERA Division C with an opportunity to receive mentoring and advice from current faculty members and to begin developing professional relationships with current and future leaders within the field. The seminar is intended for full-time, advanced level doctoral students who are approaching the dissertation phase of their programs. Students who will have finished their dissertation by the end of April 2012 should consider applying for the Division C New Faculty seminar instead.
In addition to presentations on topics such as job search, and grants and funding opportunities, the seminar will consist of panel discussions on teaching, research, and publishing. Students will also participate in a research directions review with mentors, as well discussions on how to revise your CV.
Students interested in participating in the Graduate Student Seminar should submit the following by 5:00pm on Sunday, January 15, 2012. All email attachments should be sent to the chair of the seminar (yoonsa@gse.upenn.edu) with the subject line [Div C GSS Application].
• A general statement of why you are interested in attending the Division C Graduate Student Seminar and what you hope to gain from this experience. Include in the statement:
1) Where you are in your timeline for completing your degree requirements, e.g., date of proposal defense;
2) Research interests;
3) Career goals and job search timeline and;
4) Preferences for mentors.
• A 2-page summary of your dissertation research.
• A vita that includes name, address, institution, telephone, fax , e-mail , educational background, awards, professional publications and presentations, teaching experience, and service activities.
• A letter of recommendation from your advisor, major professor, or dissertation chair sent directly to the Seminar chair (this must be sent to us by the due date in order for your application to be considered).
Upon acceptance, participants will also be required to submit a writing sample (e.g., a manuscript to be submitted for publication) to their assigned mentor(s) by March 15, 2012. A limited number of participants will be selected for the 2012 Graduate Student Seminar based on graduate status, clarity of research interests, and match with participating mentors.
Notifications will be sent out by January 31, 2012. Students who attend the seminar will receive a small stipend to support travel costs. To be eligible, students must be members of Division C and must register for the annual meeting. We look forward to seeing you with our Division C colleagues in Vancouver next April.
