CALL FOR STUDENT PAPERS
for the
SIDNEY
M. JOURARD
STUDENT AWARD SYMPOSIUM
FOR
PRESENTATION AT THE
ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE
AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL
ASSOCIATION
San Francisco
August 16-19, 2007
The Executive Committee of Division 32 has committed itself to continuing the tradition of a student award symposium as part of our main convention program at each year's convention. We want to continue to provide a rich opportunity for students of Humanistic Psychology to contribute to and become involved in the community of Division 32. Students are welcome to submit papers from undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels of work. We do not accept co-authored submissions: all paper must represent the student’s own individual work. We try to make a place for papers of high quality at any level, so undergraduates should not feel hesitant to apply.
Students whose papers are selected for this award symposium will be given a free membership in the Division of Humanistic Psychology for one year, including subscription to our journal The Humanistic Psychologist.
Please submit a 1000-word summary for consideration to our program committee, utilizing the electronic submission format available online at: http://www.apa.org/convention07/2007callforprograms.pdf.
You should identify this as an “individual paper” on the e-submission, and at the beginning of your abstract you should identify it as a “Jourard Student Award Submission” so it will be recognized as such immediately by the Program Chair and can then be forwarded to the Jourard Awards Chair.
All submissions for the Jourard Award will also be considered for our recently established poster sessions, whether or not they become Jourard finalists.
Work already completed is perfectly appropriate to submit for consideration, as long as the paper has not been previously presented at another conference, and as long as you are still a student in the year of the convention. In the case of thesis or other research-based papers that are in the developmental stage and that will be completed during the spring semester of 2007, you should have a brief letter of endorsement from your professor or research advisor sent directly to the Jourard Chair.
The absolute deadline for submission is the same as for all submissions to APA, December 1, 2006. A committee will review and select the finalists from all of those papers submitted by that date. All students will be notified of the outcome of the review process by early February of 2007. Papers must be submitted in current APA format, and should include your name as you would want it to appear in the program, along with your highest level of awarded degree (e.g., do not list any degree for which you are a candidate). You should indicate the college, university, or graduate institute where the work was completed as your institutional affiliation. You may not submit the same paper to another division. Your title must be limited to 10 words. The actual presentations will be approximately 12 minutes duration. Please note: We will consider the submission of a paper to be a commitment by the author to attend the conference and to present the paper if the paper is chosen for the award.
Please note that any member of APAGS (American Psychological Association of Graduate Students) who is presenting as first author within any symposium or paper/poster session at APA will have his/her advance registration fee waived.
Please feel free to contact the Jourard Chair for further clarification as needed:
