Global Futures: Annual Global Studies Symposium
About
The Global Studies Program will host its annual Global Futures: A Global Studies Symposium on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 in the Newcomb Ballroom.
Global Futures offers Global Studies majors and other students in Global Studies courses the opportunity to showcase their work. While it especially highlights the accomplishments of GS graduating students, all student contributions are welcome.
Students interested in participating should sign up via this link by March 28, 2025.
Project Possibilities
There are different ways in which you can present your work. We suggest you opt for one of the following options:
- Physical poster – students will be asked to prepare a 3-5 minute summary of their research to accompany their poster and engage with visitors throughout the duration of their session.
- Digital presentation – students will pre-record a 5-10-minute presentation that will be streamed at the event.
- Salon table – instead of creating a poster or digital project, students can choose to lead one of several discussion groups in our salon. Students will be asked to provide a though provoking question (based on their research/topic of interest) and lead a round table discussion. Students can choose to present alone or with a group and involve a faculty member.
- Non-Traditional/creative presentation – students wishing to present their project through a creative medium are encouraged to do so; examples of this include art installations, films, poetic performances, etc. If this project type is selected, it is up to the student to share details with the planning committee on how they intend to display their work.
- Other – have a different idea about how to present your project? Share your thoughts with us via the sign-up form!
