Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars
Call for Papers/Abstracts
Submission Deadline: January 15, 2015
26th Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars Annual Meeting
12-13 April 2012, Kansas City, Missouri
BEST PRACTICES AND MODELS OF EXCELLENCE IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
We encourage submissions representing all areas of study that promote global awareness through a range of programs and experiences. The increasing interest in international opportunities and promotion of scholarship in this shrinking world create new challenges. We hope that this conference will provide an environment where students, staff, faculty and interested groups can highlight their efforts and provide examples of the very best practices in international education today.
There will be several formats for submission to select from:
*Full papers that are intended for publication in the Conference Proceedings. We will schedule oral summaries of approximately fifteen minutes to allow authors to highlight significant aspects of their work that may be described in more detail in the publication.
*Short papers for oral presentations of approximately fifteen minutes.
*Poster presentations, either as physical posters or as PowerPoint presentations presented in a large room format on Friday afternoon, April 13, to encourage participation, especially on the part of students. Awards will be given out for the best student presentations in this event.
Instructions for Authors: For all formats described above, authors should download the Abstract Submission Form (MS Word), to be made available on the web site, www.phibetadelta.org and submit the following information: (1) title of presentation, (2) name(s) of author(s), along with title(s), (3) institutional/organizational affiliation, (4) postal address, (5) phone number(s), (6) email address, and (7) a short abstract (300 words maximum). The level should be appropriate for a non-specialist reader.
Please submit these items electronically to jdelosreyes@uh.edu by 15 January 2011.
Submissions will be acknowledged via email. Abstracts of accepted submissions will be published in the Conference Proceedings and posted on the Society’s website after the conclusion of the conference. For those submitting Full Papers to be considered for publication in the Conference Proceedings, your first version will be due March 1, 2012. Short Papers may also be considered for the Conference Proceedings and submitted at a later date. In addition, Poster Presentations may be converted into short papers or material suitable for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings at a later date.
Additional information regarding registration and other details will be posted on the website at www.phibetadelta.org.
