[ecrea] CFP: CSCW 2014 Doctoral Colloquium

The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students meet and 
discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced CSCW 
researchers and practitioners. The colloquium itself will begin with 
dinner Saturday night February 15, 2014 and continue all day Sunday 
February 16, 2014.

All submissions must be received by the chairs by 5:00pm (17:00) Pacific 
Time on October 7, 2014. Submissions received after this date will not 
be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.

We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches 
that inform CSCW, including anthropology, sociology, computer science, 
cognitive science, organizational studies, and related fields. We are 
particularly interested in applications from institutions and groups 
that have not traditionally been well-represented at past CSCW conferences.

Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established 
direction of research relevant to CSCW, but whose research would benefit 
from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues at the Doctoral 
Colloquium. Preference will be given to students who have a defined 
topic and program of work e.g., who have proposed their topics and are 
within 2 years of graduation within a 5 year program or are half way 
through a 3 (or 4) year program.

The Colloquium committee will select approximately 15 participants who 
will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work 
during the Colloquium, to be followed by extensive group discussion. 
Participants will also present their research in an interactive poster 
session during the main technical program of the conference.

Applicants should submit the following items by email to 
(dc2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org) with the subject line "CSCW2014 Colloquium 
Submission." All items below should be collated into one PDF file named 
YOURNAME_CSCWDC2014.pdf (substitute your full name where it reads YOURNAME):

* A FOUR-page overview of your doctoral research that describes your 
research question, work in progress, and expected contributions. This 
overview should also include (1) a paragraph that articulates what you 
hope to gain from attending the CSCW Doctoral Colloquium, and (2) an 
abstract of no more than 100 words. Your overview will be published in 
the ACM Digital Library and distributed to all attendees as part of the 
Conference Extended Abstracts. Please submit your overview in the 
Extended Abstracts Format.
* A short (2-3 paragraph) biographical sketch on another page.
* An up-to-date curriculum vitae.
* Optionally, one publication that you feel best illustrates your 
progress in your research.
* An email letter from your supervisor sent to (dc2014 /at/ cscw.acm.org) 
indicating that they support your application to the colloquium and that 
they agree that your research is at an appropriate stage for 
participation. These letters should also make reference to how you might 
benefit from the Doctoral Colloquium and how they expect that you might 
benefit the other students in this group experience. The email should 
have "CSCW Doctoral Colloquium: " + YOUR NAME in the subject header.
