I am a graduate student and want to either submit a paper proposal or organize a session. What are the requirements for graduate student submission?
The AJS welcomes graduate students to submit proposals for papers, sessions, and poster presentations. In order to submit proposals, graduate students must meet the following criteria by the submission due date: 1) they must have completed their coursework and comprehensive/qualifying exams; 2) their dissertation prospectus must be approved; 3) they must be at the stage of writing their dissertation; and 4) the proposal must reflect their doctoral research. Graduate students must arrange for their primary advisor to submit an Advisor Evaluation Form available on the AJS website; this form must reach the AJS office by May 5, 2011. Graduate student proposals will not be evaluated if the AJS does not receive the Advisor Evaluation Form by the deadline. The Program Committee will not accept all-student sessions; graduate students organizing sessions should invite at least one senior scholar to present in their session, and ask a senior scholar to serve as session chair and/or respondent.
