Student Forum Photographs, 2009April 4, 2009 City Life: Emerging PerspectivesThe Urban Studies Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will host the 14th Annual Student Forum, "City Life: Emerging Perspectives" on Saturday, April 4, 2009 at the Hefter Conference Center, 3271 N. Lake Drive. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. The forum concludes at 5:30 p.m. The Student Forum provides a comfortable venue for students, alumni, and faculty to come together to investigate and discuss the complexities of the urban milieu. Organized by graduate students in the Urban Studies Programs, the Forum reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the curriculum as well as the varying interests of a diverse student body. The Forum gives students opportunities to sharpen their presentation skills and to receive constructive feedback from other scholars who share an interest in the urban environment. Graduate and Doctoral students present their research -- class papers, theses, or dissertation chapters -- in the professional, yet relaxed, atmosphere of the Forum. The Student Forum is structured around panels of two to three presenters grouped according to topic. Each presentation is expected to last approximately 20 minutes with a brief question and answer period to follow. Laura McEnaney is the featured keynote speaker. Dr. McEnaney is an associate professor at the Department of History at Whittier College, Whittier, California and the appointed Nadine Austin Wood Chair in American History. Her keynote address entitled "Peace in the City: Exploring War's Aftermath as Urban History" is a study of Chicago after World War II. http://web.whittier.edu/prof.praxes/Laura_McEnaney.html A new addition to the forum is a student paneling discussing issues relating to the keynote address: Post War Urbanism. The panel will present immediately preceding the keynote presentation. Urban Studies Programs Student Forum Links14th Annual Urban Studies Forum Program Call for Papers, pdf-337kb
