[Sigtis-l] CFP: CSCW 2014 Doctoral Colloquium, deadline Oct 7, 2013

[N Sadat Shami]

***Please forward to Ph.D. students at your institution***

The CSCW Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students meet and
discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced researchers
and practitioners. The colloquium itself will begin with dinner Saturday
night February 15, 2014 and continue all day Sunday February 16, 2014.

All submissions must be received by the chairs by 5:00pm (17:00) Pacific
Time on October 7, 2013. Submissions received after this date will not be
considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.

We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that
inform CSCW, including anthropology, sociology, computer science, cognitive
science, organizational studies, and related fields. We are particularly
interested in applications from institutions and groups that have not
traditionally been well-represented at past CSCW conferences.

Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established
direction of research relevant to CSCW, but whose research would benefit
from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues at the Doctoral
Colloquium. Preference will be given to students who have a defined topic
and program of work e.g., who have proposed their topics and are within 2
years of graduation within a 5 year program or are half way through a 3 (or
4) year program.

The Colloquium committee will select approximately 15 participants who will
be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the
Colloquium, to be followed by extensive group discussion. Participants will
also present their research in an interactive poster session during the
main technical program of the conference.

Applicants should submit the following items by email
to dc2014 at cscw.acm.org with the subject line "CSCW2014 Colloquium
Submission." All items below should be collated into one PDF file named
YOURNAME_CSCWDC2014.pdf (substitute your full name where it reads
YOURNAME):

* A FOUR-page overview of your doctoral research that describes your
research question, work in progress, and expected contributions. This
overview should also include (1) a paragraph that articulates what you hope
to gain from attending the CSCW Doctoral Colloquium, and (2) an abstract of
no more than 100 words. Your overview will be published in the ACM Digital
Library and distributed to all attendees as part of the Conference Extended
Abstracts. Please submit your overview in the Extended Abstracts Format.
* A short (2-3 paragraph) biographical sketch on another page.
* An up-to-date curriculum vitae.
* Optionally, one publication that you feel best illustrates your progress
in your research.
* An email letter from your supervisor sent
to dc2014 at cscw.acm.org indicating that they support your application to the
colloquium and that they agree that your research is at an appropriate
stage for participation. These letters should also make reference to how
you might benefit from the Doctoral Colloquium and how they expect that you
might benefit the other students in this group experience. The email should
have "CSCW Doctoral Colloquium: " + YOUR NAME in the subject header.
