Student Paper Proposal Submissions
2009 Conference to be held at Valdosta State University
February 27 & 28, 2009
GCHC's 2009 Conference Theme:
"Environments"
That many environments in the modern world are fragile, imperiled, or precarious (dangerous, treacherous, unsettling are other possibilities) is becoming increasingly obvious. The challenge for honors students is not only how to negotiate these environments?be they political, academic, or natural?but how to protect, sustain, or alter them. The Georgia Collegiate Honors Council wants to hear your insights about the environments important to you and to the wider global community.
Potential Topics:
The Honors environment
Honors pedagogy
Political environments
International territories
Cross-cultural landscapes
Interdisciplinary constructs
Literary influences and values
Conflict resolution
Biological and chemical realms
Biological diversity
Contiguous environments
Borderlands
As always, GCHC welcomes proposals that will present academic work produced in Honors classes even if the topic does not directly address the conference theme.
