ASSOCIATION POUR LA RECHERCHE AU COLLÉGIAL
Call for proposals for the Colloque interordre de la recherche étudiante en sciences sociales et humaines

On Thursday, May 25, 2023, the Association pour la recherche au collégial (ARC) will be holding a colloquium in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), and is inviting college, graduate and PhD students to submit proposals, in either French or English, describing their research in social sciences and humanities, arts and literature, no later than Wednesday, February 22, 2023.

ARC is partnering with the Centre de transfert pour la réussite éducative du Québec to host the second annual colloquium that is now part of the Experience makes the difference project. The main objective of the colloquium is to provide students in the fields of social sciences and humanities, arts and literature, with the opportunity to participate in an event dedicated to scientific communication and knowledge transfer. College students from all college-level programs, both pre-university and technical, who are interested in pursuing research are invited to present a poster, in French or in English. Graduate and PhD students are invited to give an oral presentation, in French or in English. And lastly, graduate and PhD students who are part of an inter-level team are invited to present either a poster or an oral presentation, in French or in English.

In its call for proposals, ARC provides information and useful references on how to produce a quality abstract. The colloquium and related project are made possible thanks to a grant from the Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie. In addition, the contribution from UQAM's Faculty of Social Sciences will help ensure the event elevates recognition of the fields of social sciences and humanities, arts and literature. "Through their rigorous analyses of contemporary issues the environment, immigration, mental health, pluralism of identities, aging populations the Faculty's researchers help shed light on the direction society is headed, effectively contributing to informing governments and public opinion," said the faculty Dean, Josée S. Lafond, in an interview with ActualitésUQAM. For ARC president Renaud Bellemare, "this colloquium illustrates ARC's commitment to supporting capacity development in the next generation of researchers, as outlined in its new strategic plan."

On May 25, researchers selected to present their work as part of the Colloque interordre de la recherche étudiante en sciences sociales et humaines will be participating in a major event. Why not join them? Simply submit a proposal for an oral presentation or a poster, in French or in English!
