Dear Colleagues, Just a reminder that proposals for the 2011 AoIR Conference Doctoral Colloquium are due Tuesday, May 31 (original message said Friday May 31, apologies for any confusion!) In keeping with its commitment to students' scholarship in the Association of Internet Researchers, the Internet Research 12.0 Doctoral Colloquium offers Ph.D. students working in internet research or a related field a special forum on October, 10, 2011. Participants will have a chance to present their dissertations-in-progress and discuss them at length, with peers and established senior researchers. This year, Elizabeth Buchanan and Michael Zimmer will coordinate the Doctoral Colloquium, and will be joined by colleagues including: Mia Consalvo Charles Ess Rasmus Helles Andrew Herman Klaus Bruhn Jensen Steve Jones Annette Markham Hector Postigo Interested students should prepare a two-page summary of their research. This should provide a context for the research, describe the methods being used, the progress to date, and expectations and hopes from the colloquium. Participants will be encouraged to discuss research problems or statements, methodologies, ethics, and the process of "bringing it all together" in the dissertation. SUBMISSION/PARTICIPATION Please submit the two page application by May 31, 2011 to: Elizabeth Buchanan, at buchanane@uwstout.edu Applicants will be notified of acceptance by July 1, 2011.
