Hi all - The CSCW DC is a great opportunity to meet with outstanding senior
researchers and students. As an alumn of the 2006 cohort, I highly
recommend it!
--
***Please forward to Ph.D. students at your institution***
The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students meet and
discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced CSCW
researchers and practitioners. The colloquium itself will begin with
dinner Saturday night February 15, 2014 and continue all day Sunday
February 16, 2014.
All submissions must be received by the chairs by 5:00pm (17:00)
Pacific Time on October 7, 2014. Submissions received after this date
will not be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.
We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches
that inform CSCW, including anthropology, sociology, computer science,
cognitive science, organizational studies, and related fields. We are
particularly interested in applications from institutions and groups
that have not traditionally been well-represented at past CSCW
conferences.
Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established
direction of research relevant to CSCW, but whose research would
benefit from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues at the
Doctoral Colloquium. Preference will be given to students who have a
defined topic and program of work e.g., who have proposed their topics
and are within 2 years of graduation within a 5 year program or are
half way through a 3 (or 4) year program.
The Colloquium committee will select approximately 15 participants who
will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work
during the Colloquium, to be followed by extensive group discussion.
Participants will also present their research in an interactive poster
session during the main technical program of the conference.
Applicants should submit the following items by email to
dc2014(a)cscw.acm.org with the subject line "CSCW2014 Colloquium
Submission." All items below should be collated into one PDF file
named YOURNAME_CSCWDC2014.pdf (substitute your full name where it
reads YOURNAME):
* A FOUR-page overview of your doctoral research that describes your
research question, work in progress, and expected contributions. This
overview should also include (1) a paragraph that articulates what you
hope to gain from attending the CSCW Doctoral Colloquium, and (2) an
abstract of no more than 100 words. Your overview will be published in
the ACM Digital Library and distributed to all attendees as part of
the Conference Extended Abstracts. Please submit your overview in the
Extended Abstracts Format.
* A short (2-3 paragraph) biographical sketch on another page.
* An up-to-date curriculum vitae.
* Optionally, one publication that you feel best illustrates your
progress in your research.
* An email letter from your supervisor sent to dc2014(a)cscw.acm.org
indicating that they support your application to the colloquium and
that they agree that your research is at an appropriate stage for
participation. These letters should also make reference to how you
might benefit from the Doctoral Colloquium and how they expect that
you might benefit the other students in this group experience. The
email should have "CSCW Doctoral Colloquium: " + YOUR NAME in the
subject header.
