DESCRIPTION:Dear Politics students\,\n \nIf you are doing research for an
  essay\, project or dissertation that you find incredibly interesting an
 d are desperate to share with others\, we have just the event for you! W
 e will be holding our annual UofM Politics Undergraduate Research Confer
 ence on Tuesday May 17th 2022. The conference will be hosted by the Poli
 tics Department\, and organized with help from the student team at Junct
 ure. \n \nBarring any changes to the current health and safety guideline
 s\, this year’s conference will take place in person. If accepted\, you 
 will be placed on a panel alongside other students to present your ideas
  and research to an audience of staff and students. This is a great oppo
 rtunity to share your views with others\, and will look great on your CV
  too!\n \nIn order to apply\, please send a title and a short abstract (
 i.e. a max 200 word summary of your research)\, along with your name and
  contact details to Adrienne Roberts by April 4th. (adrienne.roberts@man
 chester.ac.uk) \n \nWe will accept contributions on any topic related to
  Politics and International Relations\, from students in any year of stu
 dy. We anticipate that the majority of proposals will be based on final 
 year projects or dissertations\, but other research-based proposals are 
 welcome as well. Each proposal will be viewed on its merits by the organ
 ising committee (made up the UG Director\, Director of the Politics & IR
  Programme\, and representatives from Juncture). \n \nIn terms of next s
 teps\, the processes takes place as such:\n•        We will send emails 
 confirming acceptance to the conference in mid-April\n•        Participa
 nts will be asked to submit a written paper (normally 5\,000-10\,000 wor
 ds) by Tuesday May 10th(one week before the conference). This can be a v
 ersion (including a draft version) of your dissertation or research essa
 y. We will not be providing comments on the written version\, but would 
 like to be sure that our presenters are prepared and have enough content
  to make a proper contribution to the conference.\n•        All of the p
 apers accepted onto the conference will be arranged into panels of 3-5 s
 tudents\, organised by topic. On the day of the conference itself\, you 
 will have 10-15 minutes to present your research. After everyone has pre
 sented\, there will be a Q&A period with the audience.\n \nThis will be 
 a friendly\, supportive opportunity to discuss your research with other 
 students and your teachers. It is a celebration of your research\, rathe
 r than a test\, so please propose a paper and come along to see what oth
 er students have been up to all year!\n \nWe look forward to hearing fro
 m you and celebrating the end of the academic year at the conference.
