Pathways to Prosperity: Canada

The Pathways to Prosperity Partnership’s (P2P) Standing Committee on Student Engagement invites graduate students from all disciplines to participate in a workshop during the 4^th National Conference of the Pathways to Prosperity Partnership in Ottawa to be held on December 1^st and 2^nd. This workshop will provide a select group of graduate students with the opportunity to receive oral and written feedback on an unpublished piece of migration-related research from an expert in the field.

The workshop will allocate each graduate student 30 minutes, including time to present a brief description of their work (10 minutes), receive oral feedback from an expert or a faculty member working in the area (10 minutes), and open discussion on their paper (10 minutes).

Graduate students with migration-related research interests, who would like to learn more about writing and review processes, are also invited to attend the workshop and participate in providing feedback to their peers.

We invite abstracts of original research on any aspect of migration, settlement, and integration in Canada. The deadline is September 30^th, 2016. The student should be the sole or lead author. Notification of acceptance will be provided by October 7^th. Confirmation of attendance will be requested prior to October 14^th. All those who have confirmed their attendance will be required to send their final paper by November 7^th. The final papers will be sent to a faculty member working in the same area to provide constructive feedback. The student will also be required to submit the brief, about one page summary for peer-review.

Workshop attendees are required to register for the Pathways to Prosperity National Conference (see https://www.eply.com/P2PConference2016) and are responsible for arranging Conference registration, accommodation and travel. There will be up to $800 per presenter available to cover travel expenses, depending on the location from which you are travelling.
