The 19th Annual James F. Jakobsen Memorial Conference will be held in the Iowa Memorial Unionon Saturday, March 2, 2017.

Held each Spring semester, the Jakobsen Conference provides a well-attended public forum for oral and poster presentations.  The theme for this year’s conference is “Trends and Transformations.” The conference seeks to engage graduate students across campus and across disciplines in conversations about Trends and Transformations their work has identified, explored, and questioned. What kinds of relationships has your work found? How can a better understanding of them inform research and practice? Under what circumstances do systems, individuals, and objects change? How can we utilize this knowledge to further our own research and scholarly discourse across disciplines and communities?

Submissions are due February 13. The conference welcomes both research and creative works presentations from all graduate students at the University of Iowa.

Submissions guidelines can be found here: https://gss.grad.uiowa.edu/jakobsen-conference/

Following the scheduled poster and panel sessions, there will be a reception with free food and the announcement of the winners of the paper prizes!
