The UO Graduate School announces a call for participation in the First Annual Graduate Student Research Forum, "Crossing Borders" April 30, 2010.

The theme “Crossing Borders” aims to illuminate the growing need for scholars across all fields to critically examine interdisciplinary work as a transformative academic and social force. This forum will give UO graduate students a chance to engage in conversations about multiple kinds of border crossings. Some examples include: the borders across disciplines, methodologies, epistemologies, nations or cultures, theoretical approaches, and between the university and the larger community.

We encourage graduate students – from those early in their graduate careers to those preparing to leave the university -- to join together for an exciting opportunity to share our efforts and work, learn from each other, and form new collaborative efforts. Proposals for participation may reflect traditional and innovative formats, including posters, panels, think tanks, roundtables, as well as creative submissions. The deadline for submission of abstracts has been extended to Saturday, February 6, 2010.

Don't miss "Global Views: Looking Through Patient Eyes," a series put on by International Affairs and featuring graduate and undergraduate international students' perspectives on timely issues, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the drug war in Brazil. Wednesdays, noon to 1 p.m., Jan. 27 through Feb. 24.
