OverviewThe iConference Doctoral Colloquium provides doctoral students the opportunity to present their work, and engage with their peers and faculty members in a setting that is relatively informal, but allows for high-quality intellectual interactions. During the iConference, participation in the Doctoral Colloquium will be restricted to students who have applied for and been accepted into the Colloquium. The Colloquium will not be open to observers. While the official Colloquium is an all-day event, other Colloquium-related events may held during the iConference that require students’ participaton throughout the conference. Format Update: In a change from our original CFP, iConference 2021 will now be an entirely virtual conference. All Doctoral Colloquium applications should be made with remote participation in mind. Applications to participate in the Doctoral Colloquium are encouraged from any and all doctoral students. We are seeking broad representation, and the iConference doctoral colloquium is not limited to students from member iSchools. Application instructions are posted below. Questions can be sent to the Doctoral Colloquium Chairs listed at the bottom of this page. This page will be updated regularly as new information becomes available. Student participants in the doctoral colloquium will be selected by a faculty review committee based on their application materials.
