Student participants in each of our doctoral colloquia will be selected by a faculty review committee. Application materials will be submitted as a single pdf document to our ConfTool submission site by Oct. 20, 2023. All materials must be in English, and include the following two sections:

​

Section 1: A short introductory statement explaining:

• who the applicant is, their institutional affiliation, supervisors, and (provisional) thesis title;

• the applicant's region, i.e. Asia Pacific, Europe, or Americas (note that students in Africa should apply for the Europe region);

  • Applicants for the Asia Pacific Doctoral Colloquium session are expected to participate physically in Changchun, China. Note, if you are an applicant from Asia Pacific who is unable to travel to Changchun but would like to participate in a Doctoral Colloquium Session anyway, feel free to apply to either the Doctoral Colloquium in the European & African, or Americas region.

  • Applicants outside of Asia Pacific are welcome to participate physically. Please indicate your interest in the application.

• the applicant’s interest in the colloquium;

• the applicant’s current stage of their graduate career (beginning, completion of required courses or initial candidacy stage, full doctoral status, data collection and analysis, about to submit thesis etc);

• an explanation of what they hope to get out of attendance at the doctoral colloquium.

​

Section 2: A research statement of no more than 500 words describing their dissertation project.

​

The doctoral colloquia co-chairs encourage student applicants to also submit their work for possible presentation in poster or paper sessions. These submissions will go through the regular conference review process.
