Augustana Symposium - April 9, 2011
The Augustana Symposium, like the ancient meeting recorded by Plato, is a collegial gathering intended to foster the investigation and discussion of important matters. The structure of the Symposium emulates a traditional academic conference, and Augustana students are invited to present their original research on any topic in this forum.
Interested students should submit abstracts of their projects according to the guidelines set forth in the call for papers. The Augustana Library Associates will be presenting the Augustana Library Associates Research Award of $250 at the Augustana Symposium. Criteria and application information is available at the call for papers.
We are proud to announce that Anne Butler, Trustee Professor Emerita, Department of History - Utah State University, will be providing the Symposium's keynote address, “Placing Nuns Inside the Women's West: Convent Archives and Academic Research.” The address will begin at 7:00pm in Room 100 of the Gilbert Science Center. For more information about any facet of the Augustana Symposium, please contact Dr. Darcie Rives-East (605.274.5422).
