Please submit titled proposals of up to 350 words on the theme “Research + Activism” by Friday, April 10 at 5:00 pm to Beth Zinsli: beth.a.zinsli@lawrence.edu.

This an invitation to nominate students to present their scholarly work in this year’s Richard A. Harrison Symposium in the Humanities and Social Sciences, which will be held on Saturday, May 16th, 2020.
The Harrison Symposium, named for former Dean of the Faculty Richard A. Harrison, gives students the opportunity to present work they produced in an advanced seminar, tutorial, independent study, or Senior Experience. Students present in a setting similar to a professional meeting, with 20 minutes for a paper presentation followed by 10 minutes for questions. Sessions are moderated by Lawrence faculty members. Participating in the Harrison Symposium is an honor, and families are encouraged to attend and to join the presenters for a catered lunch in the campus center after the symposium.
Please consider nominating one or two students whose work deserves this recognition. Once the nominations are received, I will issue a call to the nominated students, inviting them to submit proposals for paper presentations to an audience of fellow students, faculty, and members of the Lawrence and Appleton communities.
So that we may fill the symposium and organize the sessions thematically, please send your nominations to Chloe Armstrong (chloe.armstrong@lawrence.edu) no later than Friday, March 13th, 2020, the last day of winter term classes. Thank you for supporting and helping us recognize the outstanding work of our students.
The 2019-20 Public Events Committee solicits proposals from Lawrence University faculty at any rank or appointment for a Spring 2021 Honors Convocation on the theme:
RESEARCH + ACTIVISM
We welcome a broad definition of activism. Proposals can come from any discipline and can delve deeply into key questions from a field but should also seek to illuminate in some way how the scholarly research or creative work might be translated into or understood through related activist practices and activities. Collaborative and/or cross-disciplinary proposals are welcome.
Potential questions you may consider when creating a proposal:
Please submit titled proposals of up to 350 words by Monday, March 30 at 5:00 pm to Beth Zinsli: beth.a.zinsli@lawrence.edu
