CALL FOR STUDENT PAPERS 
2020 Pi Gamma Mu Convention 
 
At the 2011 Convention, 40 students presented their research in the ornate Kennedy Caucus Room of the 
Senate Office Building in Washington, DC.  
Think about it!  Presenting at an international academic convention looks great on a 
resume.  Submit your papers now!   
Pi Gamma Mu student members are encouraged to submit completed social science 
research papers for presentation consideration at the 2020 Triennial International 
Convention of Pi Gamma Mu.  To encourage more student paper presentations at the 
Washington, DC convention, submitters (and their chapters) will be quickly notified 
whether their papers have been accepted for presentation. This will allow students 
and their chapters to begin making plans to attend the Convention and, if possible, 
to use the acceptance of their papers to seek institutional and chapter funding.  
Early submissions are encouraged after March 1, 2020; the final submission 
deadline is September 15.  At that time, all accepted papers will be rated by 
a Committee of Readers. The authors of the top ten rated papers will receive 
free convention registration (worth $150 each), with the winners notified 
by September 25.

Published by Nighthawks Open Institutional Repository,
All students who have their papers accepted for presentation will present their 
research in a formal 10-15 minute oral presentation at the International Convention.  
All submissions must include a completed cover page (see example below), including 
the title of the paper, the author's name, institutional affiliation, email address, 
telephone number, AND the email address and phone number of their Pi Gamma Mu 
chapter sponsor AND/OR the professor for whom the paper was originally 
written.  Students are to include their personal information only on the cover page 
and the email sent with their entry, to ensure a completely blind or unbiased 
evaluation when the paper is sent to the evaluation committee. The paper itself must 
include none of the identifying information from the cover page other than the title 
of the paper. Completed papers should be at least 12 pages but no longer than 25 
pages in length, including references, and in a standard format.  No review comments 
will be shared with submitters, either verbally or orally.   
Papers need to be submitted via email to Dr. Charles W. Hartwig, Chair of the 
Committee of Readers, at hartwigc@suddenlink.net, with a "cc" copy to the 
Convention Committee Chair, Dr. Susan Kinsella, at 
Susan.Kinsella@saintleo.edu.  The papers should be attached to an email cover letter 
as a Microsoft Word document.  Other word-processing software is 
unacceptable.  The deadlinefor submitting papers is Tuesday, September 15, 2020; 
earlier submissions are strongly encouraged.    
Submissions will be acknowledged by email when received. Chapter sponsors and/or 
the relevant faculty member will also receive notification. If a submission is not 
acknowledged within three days of being sent, the student submitter should follow 
up by contacting the Convention Committee Chair (Dr. Kinsella) at the email address 
above. 
Outstanding papers may also be considered for a special convention issue of the 
International Social Science Review.                        
We are encouraging student members of Pi Gamma Mu, undergraduate, graduate, 
and alumni, to submit their work.   Past conventions have demonstrated that Pi 
Gamma Mu members have completed truly outstanding research – we look forward 
to learning about new research at the 2020 Washington, DC triennial convention in 
early November. 
Now is the time to plan your trip; now is the time to decide to submit a research 
paper; now is the time to request support from your local institution for travel funds.   
Questions?  Contact Dr. Hartwig at hartwigc@suddenlink.net, or 870-935-9454.  See 
you in Washington!
