*Reminder: Call for Papers 1st March 2017*
*Be/com/ing Academic: A doctoral student/early career researcher symposium *
*Are you a doctoral student or early career researcher who has ever felt
that, regardless of your academic accomplishments, you are about to be
unmasked as a fraud? That you**’**ll never quite reach a stage
of academic legitimacy?*
Sound familiar? Join us. We want to start a conversation.
*Where?* *The University of Sussex*
*When? **24**th** May 2017*
*What for?* We are hosting a one-day symposium aimed at exploring the
emotional dimension of being and becoming academic. The symposium will
involve presentations from students, workshops, creative activities and
panel discussions.
*Why?* We want to create a space for doctoral and early career researchers
from across disciplines to explore the way our emotions shape our
academic identities.
What are the implications of this for how we both understand and contribute
to knowledge production? Through this event, we intend to unpack different
notions of what it means to both ‘be’ and ‘become’ academic, opening the
space for innovative ideas around what an academic identity and
academic engagement
can encompass in today’s world.
*How to be involved?* We invite proposals for submissions from doctoral
students and early career researchers across disciplines. To apply, please
send a 250-word abstract or summary of your idea to
[log in to unmask] by 5pm on the 1st of March 2017.
We welcome and encourage responses to the following questions:
“What is your emotional experience of being / becoming an academic?”
and / or
“How do these experiences influence the ways you work and the knowledge you
produce?”
All styles of delivery are welcome, from Pecha Kucha or Ted Talk-style
presentations, spoken word/slam poetry,musical, dramatic or artistic
interpretations.
