As in past years, the Global Citizen Forum (March 2021) will feature the Nelson Student Research Symposium, giving Drake University students the opportunity to share their research related to international and global topics.

Call for student research presentations
The theme is “International Perspectives on Racial Justice.” While research presentations that support the theme are encouraged, all global topics from any academic discipline are welcome. Drake undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to submit a research paper for the symposium.

Below are a few reasons why students should consider submitting their research papers for the symposium:

• It is a great opportunity to practice presentation skills and obtain useful feedback.
• It is a platform for students to share the outcomes of their research on a global topic of interest.
• It is a great addition to students’ resumes, especially for graduate school.

Submission details
Deadline: February 18, 2021
Please submit your paper or concept to Dr. Jimmy Senteza (jimmy.senteza@drake.edu) by the deadline listed above for consideration. The email should bear the subject line, “2021 GCF submission”. Dr. Senteza will respond to the author(s) about the opportunity to present at the conference within one week following the submission deadline. At that time, presentation guidelines will be provided for accepted papers.

Please contact Dr. Senteza with questions.
