The first day of the ICTs-and-Society Network meeting – June 30, 2010 – will be shaped by PhD candidates’ presentations only. If you are a student and want to present, please send an abstract of 500 words by May 06, 2010 to Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt at pille.vengerfeldt@ut.ee and Celina Raffl at celina.raffl@sbg.ac.at.
The abstract should give a brief overview of your potential paper, its main questions and problems, key theories, methods and empirical material used (if any). You will be notified about acceptance within two weeks, after that we expected you to submit a full paper of up to 4000 words (not including references) by June 15, 2010.
Papers will be selected and each of them will receive 10 minutes of presentation time, focused feedback on their particular project from senior lecturers and appointed students. Thus each of you will be expected to give feedback to another student’s contribution. Be aware that your paper should not only deal with your dissertation thesis but will be evaluated against the criteria of how you reflect the problems of the field as indicated.
