CALL FOR PAPERS
The New Generation of Social Science Knowledge

We are pleased to announce that the 1st Annual Postgraduate Café will be held in the Glamorgan Building at Cardiff University on Tuesday the 27th February, 2007. The conference, sponsored by the School of Social Sciences (SOCSI), is specifically for the presentation of postgraduate students’ work but is not limited to SOCSI PhD students.

The PostGrad Café Conference will provide all participants with the opportunity to present work-in-progress papers and discuss the research of others in a cross-disciplinary, supportive and constructive peer environment. All postgraduates wishing to attend this conference should register their interest with the organisers as soon as possible.

Papers are invited from postgraduate researchers working in, but not limited to, sociology, philosophy, journalism, nursing, psychology, planning, humanities, history, business, economics and law. The PostGrad Café Conference is free to attend, and a buffet will be provided. Information on the PostGrad Café’s regular events can be found at http://culturecafe.blogspot.com/.

In order to ensure that we have enough presentation rooms booked, the organisers ask postgraduates to e-mail bartletta@cardiff.ac.uk or lewisjt1@cardiff.ac.uk at the earliest opportunity stating their intention to attend the conference and whether they wish to present a paper.

Those wishing to present a paper should submit an abstract of 200 words (maximum) in either plain text or MS Word format by Wednesday 13th December to bartletta@cardiff.ac.uk or lewisjt1@cardiff.ac.uk. Papers should be around 20 minutes in length. Submissions should include: name and title, paper title, affiliation, department, email address, telephone number and postal address.
