CfP: 8th Annual Undergraduate Conference on Health & Society at Providence College
The 8th Annual Undergraduate Conference on Health & Society at Providence College will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2017.
This
is a great opportunity for advanced undergraduates who are engaged in
significant writing projects. This interdisciplinary conference welcomes
paper proposals from all areas of inquiry that address topics related
to health, health care, or health policy, including Anthropology,
Biomedical Ethics, Community Health, Economics, Health Care Management,
Health Policy, History, Literature, Political Science, Public Health,
and Sociology. Abstracts are peer reviewed on a competitive basis by a
joint student-faculty selection committee. Accepted participants orally
present their research on a panel moderated by a faculty discussant.
Additionally, all participants will have the opportunity to publish
their work through PC’s Digital Commons. Examples of papers from past
conferences can be viewed at http://digitalcommons.providence.edu/auchs/. Abstracts can be submitted via https://goo.gl/forms/kQ1Bw3UVfHoWKM2F2 by February 1, 2017. For more information contact the Conference Coordinator at pchealthpolicyconference@gmail.com.
Early
submissions are strongly encouraged because we are able to offer a
limited number of travel stipends to defray the hotel/transportation
costs for interested students who must stay overnight in order to
attend.
