NURDS - 5th
Annual Northeast Undergraduate Research and Development Symposium
March
2 and 3, 2013Undergraduate students studying biology,
chemistry, physics, environmental science, or any other
related natural science in the New England region and
Atlantic Canada are invited to attend NURDS 2013.
We will accept presentations that fulfill the definition of
undergraduate research as stated by the Council of
Undergraduate Research, CUR: "An inquiry or investigation
conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an original
intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline.
Previous NURDS meetings focused on the STEM disciplines
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). Now we broaden our
scope and also welcome students in the Humanities and Social
Sciences!
This conference, initiated through NSF funding, is created,
organized and run by undergraduate students. The symposium
will provide a comfortable environment for undergraduate
students to present their research.
This research may have been done as an independent project,
honors thesis, or senior thesis. Students can present their
research as an oral presentation, poster or data blitz
before an audience of peers. This is an excellent forum for
students to get valuable feedback as well as develop
meaningful scientific discussions between students from
multiple universities.
At last year's NURDS symposium more than 200 students from
40 different universities attended. Students came from as
far south as Connecticut, as far west as Vermont, and as far
north as Halifax, Nova Scotia!
Don't miss this year's NURDS symposium.

National
Collegiate Research Conference at Harvard
A
2006 report entitled "Undergraduate Research Experiences at Harvard" found
that many students found research to be one of the most rewarding
experiences they encountered at Harvard. However, the same report also found
that many undergraduates felt that research was never actively promoted
within Harvard. The Harvard College Undergraduate Research Association (HCURA)
was founded in 2007 in response to this study and since then, the
participation of undergraduates in research has steadily increased. Today,
the research community at Harvard has expanded dramatically, with a
significant portion of undergraduates submitting a thesis prior to
graduation. As the premier undergraduate research association at Harvard,
HCURA is dedicated to building an interdisciplinary research community. We
have partnered with the newly established Harvard Office of Undergraduate
Research Initiatives (OURI) to run our popular Peer Advising Program, which
pairs freshmen interested in research with upperclassmen peer-advisers who
guide each of the freshmen through the process of finding a lab, securing
funding, and balancing lab work with other commitments. In addition, we
collaborate with a number of Harvard departments to host seminars and
socials in order to fortify the undergraduate research community here at
Harvard. We are also committed to providing a forum for student researchers
to present their research and interact with their peers. We believe that
these efforts deserve a greater campus presence and that all undergraduate
researchers should be proud of their contributions to the collective
scholarship of our student body. To this end, we have hosted the annual
Harvard Undergraduate Research Symposium (HURS) since our founding in 2007
in order to furnish an arena for students to share their work. The
Symposiums have also created opportunities for faculty to connect with
students, offering a unique educational experience for all participants.
Recently, we have realized that it is important for undergraduates from
other college campuses around the United States to come together and
collectively present their research and interact with future colleagues.
Thus, in January 2012, we launched the inaugural National Collegiate
Research Conference (NCRC).
Information forthcoming

Annual
Meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists
Physical anthropology is a biological science that deals with the
adaptations, variability, and evolution of human beings and their living and
fossil relatives. Because it studies human biology in the context of human
culture and behavior, physical anthropology is also a social science. The
AAPA is the world's leading professional organization for physical
anthropologists. Formed by 83 charter members in 1930, the AAPA now has an
international membership of over 1,700. The Association's annual meetings
draw more than a thousand scientists and students from all over the world.

Eastern
States Archaeological Federation Annual Meeting
When asked to
write the history of the Eastern States Archeological Federation (ESAF), we
were not sure where to start. After reading the Bulletins and archives, we
found a lot of history and can only present highlights. At the end of the
report, there is a list of the names of officers and the dates that they
served. ESAFs beginnings were auspicious. In May 1933, the Delaware, New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania archeological societies met in Trenton,
New Jersey, to discuss interstate cooperation. They agreed to continue
meeting yearly under the name Northeastern States Conference and
Archaeological Societies. By the Philadelphia meetings in February of
1934, many other state societies were interested in becoming involved in the
conference. One year later, on February 23, 1935, the constitution of the
Eastern States Archeological Federation was adopted at Rochester, New York.
There were seven states represented at this meeting. The charter societies
were from Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Washington, D.C. is a
wonderful place to hold a conference, especially in April when spring is
upon us. Were expecting more than 2,500 participants. To facilitate a
conference of this size, please use the electronic form for proposing
papers, panels, roundtables, area meetings, and other types of gatherings.
The system will take its information from the electronic form that you fill
out to make up the final program. This will hopefully eliminate any missteps
or misspellings. Those proposing other types of meetings from roundtables
to whole panels may use the same proposal sheet. It should be available by
September 30th. The deadline for proposals is December 15th.
Because of the number of presenters, we are asking you to fill out an
on-line proposal sheet. These should be available at the end of September.
The sheet will use what you put in to make up the final program, and
hopefully eliminate any missteps or misspellings. Those proposing other
types of meetings from roundtables to whole panels may use the same proposal
sheet.

Phi Alpha Theta (ΦΑΘ) is an American honor society
for undergraduate and graduate students and professors of history. The
society has over 350,000 members, with about 9,500 new members joining each
year through 860 local chapters. Phi Alpha Theta was established on March
17, 1921 at the University of Arkansas by Professor Nels Cleven. Cleven had
become convinced in his time at the university that a fraternity of scholars
(which would accept men or women) was important for the study of history. He
invited students to a meeting to form the society (then called the
University Historical Society) on March 14, and the society was officially
recognized on the 17th. In April, the decision was made for the society to
be known by the Greek letters Phi Alpha Theta.

The
APS FEd (Forum on Education) is helping organize (along with SPS) a special
Focus Session that will feature "paired presentations" on undergrad research
- with faculty and students working together to do a good job at both
describing the research and also conveying some joys and challenges of how
the mentoring works for them. See link below from APS March Meeting -
Abstract submissions - with sorting categories for Focus sessions (this is Focus category 24.1.1 for abstracts). The two back-to-back
paired papers will have a total of 24 minutes (12 min each) - including
questions.
Research Collaboration Between Mentors and Undergraduate Students: Undergraduate research often occurs within the context of the challenges
and rewards of the mentoring relationship between faculty and student. This
session provides a setting for coupled presentations by faculty-student
pairs. The expectation is that the faculty member will provide the broader
physics background of an undergraduate research area, and convey how
undergraduate students have profitably worked within it. The student
presenter will describe the results of the research completed while being
mentored by the faculty member.
To participate in this session, two abstracts are required. Each should
include the faculty-student pair as co-authors, with the presenter being
first author in each case. Unless otherwise requested, the faculty
presentation will precede the student presentation.

Eastern Sociological Society
Announcing the 2013 Annual Meeting of the ESS at the
Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers March 21-24, 2013The ESS welcomes
submissions addressing any and all issues of interest to sociologists,
drawing on methods of every sort. In addition, the 2013 meeting will have a
special focus on "Sustainable Communities/Sustainable Lives." What kinds of
sociological inquiry can contribute to sustaining communities and lives in
the twenty-first century? Among the many challenges are gender, racial,
ethnic and hemispheric inequities; war and ethnic conflict; climate change
and environmental racism; gender and sexual violence; health disparities and
HIV/AIDs among other diseases and epidemics; and globalization of labor and
finance. In response to these challenges activists have taken to the streets
to call for social changes in leadership at all levels of government and for
more equitable distribution of wealth and to provide for the basic needs of
a growing population. How can we use our sociological imaginations to
explain the series of social protests that have accompanied contemporary
political oppression and economic inequality, including the Arab Spring and
the Occupy Movement? The Occupy Movement has brought attention to the vast
inequalities between the wealthy 1% earning over $500,000 and the rest of
the US population, a statistic that sociologists have been pointing out for
years. The US poverty rate is the highest it has ever been since the Census
Bureau began tracking it in 1959. The wealth gap is further deepened in the
lives of Black, Hispanic, and Native populations who suffer greater
inequality in access to health care, employment, and housing. They are also
more likely to be targeted by racist and classist law enforcement practices
and policies. Such inequalities require sustained social action to promote
social change and social justice.
