Call for Papers: 38th Annual South Eastern Undergraduate Sociology Symposium

Primary tabs

The 38th annual SEUSS will be held Friday and Saturday, February 28h /29th at Emory University. The Symposium provides undergraduate students a unique opportunity to present their independent research in a welcoming professional setting. Presentations in any area of sociological significance are invited.

Students are encouraged to submit final papers completed in undergraduate courses if their work involves data collection, analysis, and/or theoretical exploration. Students may also submit papers that address their contributions to a larger collaborative research effort outside the classroom. Co-authored papers will also be considered.

While most students will give their presentations in person at Emory University on February 29th, we also invite virtual participation by students who might not be able to come to Atlanta. Virtual presentations will be done in real-time through Zoom, and participants will still be part of a panel of fellow researchers. Detailed instructions will be given closer to the symposium date. Students will be expected to have access to a computer (with webcam), PowerPoint and the Internet.
