It is part of OSSA’s mandate to promote the work of graduate students and young scholars in the field, thus we strongly encourage submissions from this group. Please mention the degree and program at the time of submission. For the purposes of the 2009 conference, ‘graduate students’ are those who have not completed their graduate program by September 8, 2008.

(The J. Anthony Blair Prize is awarded to the best student paper presented at the conference. The competition is open to all students who have their proposals accepted for the conference but Canadian graduate students who need financial assistance in order to attend should advise the Organizing Committee when they submit their proposals. Additional information about this prize will also be available on the website.)
