**** Please forward widely*****
The Multicultural Community Center (MCC) is hosting its third annual research symposium showcasing original research conducted by undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral scholars. As a student driven space, the MCC is excited to honor the work we do as artists, scholars, and activists within our communities and believe that in order to further our academic, professional and creative development we must continually engage in critical dialogue with one another.
The symposium is scheduled for Wednesday April 30th 2014 at UC Berkeley’s Multicultural Community Center from 9-5pm. In the past two years, we have encouraged presentations that engage with the values and principles of the MCC such as— anti-oppression, cross-cultural understanding/solidarity, popular education, sustainability and wellness (http://mcc.berkeley.edu/about). This year in the spirit of the 45th anniversary of the Third World Liberation Front, we encourage presentations to engage with the following themes: Reconceptualizing Research, Resistance, Community and Practice. This year’s theme draws from the multiple timelines of women of color feminism, critical race and gender studies, and queer studies that strive to redefine power and patterns of relating. This theme touches upon the ways scholarship can negotiate intellectual boundaries as well as transgress the limits of the academy, art and activism. We invite submissions from undergraduates/graduate students, activists, organizers and community members. There are no restrictions as to the field or topic of study. We encourage you all to engage with the values and principles of the MCC as well and/or this year’s theme.
The symposium registration includes a light lunch and coffee breaks. Please help us ensure the success of the symposium by registering as soon as possible! This is a great opportunity to present some of that work you've been doing! Or even just see what research is all about!
Deadline for abstract submission is April 15th! Paper and poster submissions can be submitted online and should include a 250 word research abstract.
Please follow the following link to submit your paper/poster for consideration:
