• The Goal of the Interdisciplinary Research Symposium is to provide participants with a global appreciation for the broad diversity of scholarly research that Loyola Graduate School students and alumni have accomplished, at the highest levels of excellence in their fields.



• The symposium will be organized around the major theme "Breaking Boundaries: Bold Approaches to Global Questions". The theme should be interpreted broadly and viewed as a metaphor for addressing Loyola’s Mission and Identity which emphasizes global awareness and action. We appreciate research that takes an innovative approach in examining scholarly questions.



• Present your work in the form of either a paper or a poster. Paper presentations will occur as part of a panel session followed by a question and answer period. Poster presentations will be informal presentations throughout much of the day.



• Submissions are invited from current Loyola University Chicago graduate students and alumni.



• Monetary awards will be given to the top paper presenters and poster presenters. Awards starting at $250.



• Submissions are due Friday, February 25, 2011 at 5:00 pm and should be submitted to GSAC@luc.edu. Submissions should include a 500 word abstract and a brief bibliographical statement or CV.
