Clarification

It has come to our attention that several people have been confused regarding the nature of research that would be relevant to the conference. You do not have to be working in health-related sciences. We would like talks on research from any of the following disciplines: health science, social science, economics, political science, psychology, educational science, social policy, or any discipline allied to the wide-ranging Alcuin Research Resource Centre (ARRC).

However, we would like presenters to bear in mind the central theme: Cross-disciplinary research. We do not expect for each of the presenters to work across disciplines, but we do want to hear how you think your research could inform academics in other fields, and what possibilities there could be for collaborative work.

The deadline is on Friday 5th June. Even if you could send a very short abstract that you plan to update at a later date, that would be fine. Email abstracts to arrc-conference@events.york.ac.uk. We would like to know exactly who would be presenting by next week on Thursday, 11th June. The conference itself will take place on Tuesday, 21st July.

Call for Abstracts

Cross-disciplinary Conference for Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers in Health or Social Sciences

.

Abstracts should reach us by 5^th of June and we will let you know if you have been chosen to present by 11^th of June.

.

This one day conference will bring together postgraduate and early career researchers from across the health and social sciences and provide them with the opportunity to:

• present their own research and get constructive feedback
• meet researchers from other social science disciplines
• learn more about developing an academic career

The conference is organised by ARRC, a group which encourages interdisciplinary research and collaboration within the health and social sciences. We are inviting papers and posters from researchers whose work will have relevance across the health and social science disciplines. This could be in terms of methodology, topic or theoretical approach. Researchers and postgraduates at all stages of their research are welcome. We do not expect all abstracts to be about completed research, they can also reflect on work in progress.  There will be a prize for the best paper.

If you would like to present a paper or display a poster at this event please email a short abstract (300 words) to arrc-conference@events.york.ac.uk . The research can be on any topic but you must explain why it has interdisciplinary relevance across the health or social sciences. Papers should reach us by 5^th of June and we will let you know if you have been chosen to present by 11^th of June. Please include your name and university department with your abstract. If you are a student please include your year of study.

The conference is free to attend and lunch and refreshments are provided. There are some limited funds available towards travel costs for those who are presenting papers. It will be held in the ARRC building in the University of York.
