Students from all years with completed papers or a thesis project, as well as works-in-progress, are welcome to submit proposals. We also welcome proposals from non-majors/minors who are writing papers for Comparative/Religious Studies courses. This is an opportunity to share and celebrate the variety of work being done in the department, as well as to gain presentation experience and feedback on your current research.
The Process
Presenters will be provided with a faculty or graduate student advisor who will help them prepare. Group practice sessions with graduate student mentors will also be planned to help first-time presenters rehearse their material. Students sharing a thesis or completed papers will be given 20 minutes to present. Students sharing works-in-progress will be given 10 minutes to present.
The Due Date
Proposals have a 250-word limit and should be submitted to https://go.osu.edu/cscolloquium by 5pm on Friday, February 16th. If you would like advice on how to write a proposal, please contact your faculty advisor or one of the colloquium organizers well before the deadline.
