Symposium

by Kathryn Cook

Dear all, I am writing to inform you of the upcoming interdisciplinary postgraduate symposium in Postcolonial Studies which is hosted by the Centre for Commonwealth Studies at the University of Stirling on Saturday 26th April, 2008. This symposium aims to foster discussion and understanding of new research in postcolonial studies undertaken by postgraduate students at Scottish universities. We intend for the meeting to stimulate productive new networks amongst students and staff members in postcolonial studies nationwide, in order to plan future training and research events that encourage interdisciplinary study within the field. We are looking for submissions from fellow postgraduate students and support contributions from as wide a scope of research areas and disciplines as possible. Please find attached a copy of the call for papers. We would appreciate if you could help us advertise this event by forwarding on the CFP to postgraduates in Scotland who have research interests in postcolonial studies and would be delighted if you would like to attend and participate in the event. Looking forward to your involvement in April, Best Wishes, Brian Rock http://supostcolonialsymposium.wikidot.com <http://supostcolonialsymposium.wikidot.com/> pcsymposium(a)stir.ac.uk <mailto:pcsymposium@stir.ac.uk>

FW: GRADBritain - article

by Kathryn Cook

Dear All Please find below a call for articles which may be of interest. Best regards Kathy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn Cook Graduate School Administrator Research and Enterprise Office University of Stirling Stirling, FK9 4LA Tel: 01786 466698 Fax: 01786 466688 E-Mail: k.e.cook(a)stir.ac.uk -----Original Message----- From: KOTOVIC Benjamin [mailto:bkotovic@miscorp.ed.ac.uk] Sent: 11 January 2008 13:19 Subject: GRADBritain - article Hi there, This is something to pass around to your PhDs... Ben ------------------ Happy New Year! Whilst the adverts for gyms, lo-fat yoghurts and slim-fast give a pretty strong hint as to most people's New Year's resolutions (stop eating turkey twizzlers, give up smoking, take up mixed martial arts etc.), there's only one resolution in the mind of the PhD student: "This year WILL be the year I stop procrastinating." Around the country there will be well-intentioned colour-coded Gant charts, mindmaps, and to-do lists being generated on the nice stationery received for Christmas, but by the end of the month you may find your commitment to "1,000 words a day" slipping a little. What better time than to take a short, well-deserved break, and submit an article to GRADBritain? We're the only magazine written by and for postgraduate researchers just like you and we invite articles on a range of issues. We're particularly interested in stories about how you overcame obstacles during the course of your studies so that other readers can avoid the pitfalls and benefit from your experience. We pay £50 for articles that we use and we try to provide feedback to everyone that submits an article. Further details on submitting an article can be found here: http://www.grad.ac.uk/gradbritain/ The deadline for submissions will be Friday the 1st of February at 5pm. Please address all articles to gradbritain(a)grad.ac.uk and be sure to include your name, email address, affiliation, and a postal address. Many thanks Paul Wicks Editor-in-Chief GRADBritain
