The Department of Comparative Studies invites its undergraduate majors and minors to present and discuss their work with peers and faculty members in a colloquium, which will be held on Friday, April 4, 2025. (Location: TBD)

Students from all years with completed papers, 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. Each presentation will be scheduled for 10 minutes, regardless of presentation type (thesis, completed course paper, work-in-progress).

The Due Date

Proposals have a 250-word limit and should be submitted to https://go.osu.edu/cs_cfp2025 by 5pm on Friday, February 7th.
