[NIS_GS:] Call for Papers/Posters Women of the Southwest
Call for Papers and Posters
22nd Annual
All University Conference on the Advancement of Women in Higher Education
at Texas Tech University
2006 Theme: "Women in the Southwest"
Conference Date: March 31, 2006

Faculty, staff, graduate students, undergraduate students, and community
members from all fields of study are invited to submit papers, projects, posters, artistic works or works-in-progress that highlight research by women, and/or about women and gender. Submissions may be related to the conference theme; however, submissions unrelated to the theme are equally invited for consideration. It is expected that all paper and poster submissions will have a related paper that details the work being presented. For artwork or other projects we expect a document detailing the work. All presenters are expected to register for the conference.

Call for Student Academic Paper/Project Awards

This year the Conference will recognize two outstanding student (one
undergraduate student and one graduate student) papers from those
accepted to the conference. Awards candidates must be accepted to the
conference and submit their completed paper/project to all.university.conference@ttu.edu by Tuesday February 28, 2006. The
completed paper should be submitted with a title page including the
author's pertinent information (name, status, affiliation, and contact
information); however, the remainder of the document should be free of
reference to the author's identity so that blind review may occur. The
paper should be written using the standard style guide for the
candidate's field of study (e.g. APA, Chicago, MLA). All papers must be
double spaced, written in a standard font (i.e. Times New Roman or
Arial), and should be limited to 30 pages of text (references, tables,
appendices etc. are not included in the page count). Any questions
about these awards should be directed to Helenrose Fives at
all.university.conference@ttu.edu or by phone (806) 742-1997 ext. 307.
