DESCRIPTION
For an audience of EOTU students from UIUC, as well as other interested faculty members and students, current EOTU students will present their inquiry questions and findings.  Light refreshments will be served.

We Invite all EOTU Students to Participate

WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO THIS
Participation in student conferences like this gives you the opportunity to practice speaking and presentation skills you’re likely to value now and in the future.  It also builds your resume.  More than that, the opportunity to talk and listen in this informal setting gives you an opportunity to learn what students in other classes are doing and thinking: the swapping and discussion of ideas and methods can help you firm up your ideas, identify new approaches to your topic,  and enjoy having your ideas taken seriously by others.

DETAILS
Student presenters will be grouped in five panels each devoted to a different aspect of ethnographic inquiry.  Each panel will last approximately 50 minutes (40 minutes of presentations and 10 minutes of questions and answers).  We ask each participant to speak for no longer than 8 minutes on their topics.  The heart of your presentation should address your primary questions, the methods you’re using to answer these questions, and your findings so far.  Be prepared to field questions about your project, and to ask questions about other topics.  Discussion, dialogue, and a free exchange of ideas is our primary objective.

TO REGISTER
EOTU has created an iLabs for this conference. To register to participate, you will need to provide your name, your email account, and your topic, and then tell us the times you prefer to present, and the times you can’t present.  You can use the List Tool on the site to provide this information: if you have trouble using this tool, email the required information to Dave McDoanld.   Please note that the deadline for registration is Wednesday, Novemberl 15, 2006.
