2024 Spring Research Poster Symposium

All students in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (and students in other majors with projects related to anthropology, environmental social science or global health) are welcome to present a poster. Graduate students in the school give a scheduled formal presentation. To participate in the symposium, students need to fill out the online application below, in which they will be asked to provide a brief abstract of their project. Applications are currently being accepted through Monday, March 25. Students will receive confirmation the following week that their project has been accepted into the symposium.

Undergraduate students participating in this symposium are presenting posters on a range of projects, papers and research experiences they conducted throughout the year. In keeping with the central focus of our school, these projects all engage with the most complex and critical issues facing humans today.

Graduate students participating in this symposium are presenting part of their research portfolios, a key component of their degrees. The projects demonstrate the student’s ability to systematically gather, analyze and interpret data. For many, this symposium is a culmination of their master of arts work; doctoral students then advance into Stage II of their programs.
