This undergraduate research conference is supported by an 1804 grant and will bring together a community of students from all Ohio University campuses to present their work on diversity, multiculturalism, intersectionality, and identity in a professional setting. We anticipate this conference will be an annual event; the 2011 conference will be hosted at one of the regional campuses. We encourage you to share the Call for Papers it with your students which can be found on the website, www.ohio.edu/dae/conference. The proposal submission deadline is January 15, 2010, but we will accept proposals as late as January 29. We hope that you will encourage your students to submit their diversity-related work for consideration at the conference. The conference will be interdisciplinary and feature all types of work including essays, seminar papers, honors theses, research studies, and creative work, such as poetry, dance, film, and performance, as well as best practices in student activism. Stellar papers that are submitted to you this quarter, or from previous quarters, should be encouraged as potential submissions. Student organizations, RAs, and other students who have actively worked on the issues listed above should also be encouraged to submit a proposal. The objective of this conference is to cultivate a community of students who are interested in diversity and identity issues, facilitate cross-campus interactions and learning, and provide unique opportunities for undergraduate learning and research. Most importantly, it will provide an opportunity for students from the regional campuses to visit the Athens campus and interact with like-minded peers in a welcoming, intellectual, and social context. Thank you for taking the time to consider this opportunity. We look forward to your response. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Susanne B. Dietzel at the Ohio University Women's Center ( dietzel at ohio.edu or 740-593-9625), Dr. Winsome Chunnu, Assistant Director in Multicultural Programs ( chunnu at ohio.edu , or 740-597-2111), or Keeshna Levy, Graduate Assistant in the Office for Diversity, Access and Equity ( keelevy at gmail.com , or 740-593-2551).
