It is with great pleasure that we invite undergraduate students to attend the first annual Sociological Insight conference at the University of Texas at Austin.

Sociological Insight is a fully refereed national undergraduate research journal aimed at promoting undergraduate research in the social sciences. Insight provides an opportunity for undergraduates all over the U.S. and abroad to publish their best academic work, and to reap the benefits of subjecting their research to a rigorous peer review process.

We will be hosting our first annual research conference, Insight: A Conference on Undergraduate Sociology, on Saturday, May 7th at The University of Texas at Austin in SAC 2.302. They will have the opportunity to attend presentations from published undergraduates, panels by grad students about life after the B.A., and a special guest speaker, Sociology professor Dr. Sheldon Ekland-Olson. Admission is free and lunch will be provided.

Students should RSVP by April 29th at www.socinsight.org

Thanks,

Sociological Insight Staff

Just drop your books by our box at PAR 114! Wondering what to bring?

– Course packets
