The Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center offers aResearch Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program over a 9-week period each summer.
The NU-Materials Research Science and Engineering Center is an interdisciplinary program focused on multi-functional nanoscale material structures. Over 28 faculty from 5 different departments are involved. REU students will have the opportunity to contribute to a research project led by a center faculty member and will participate in interdisciplinary research group meetings, expanding their science and engineering experience into a range of fields. Students with an interest in nanomaterials and majoring in a science or engineering field are encouraged to apply. Each student will be assigned to a graduate student or post-doctoral associate mentor who will work closely with them.
At the end of the REU program, the participants will write a technical paper and give a 15-minute oral presentation on their research at a symposium open to the public. Other program activities include a field trip to a national or industrial lab, a beach party for social networking, a panel discussion on graduate school admissions, and seminars by Northwestern faculty and graduate students.

Morgan State University Program in Women’s and Gender Studies Presents the Biennial
Intersections Symposium: Sexuality, Gender, Race, and Ethnicity
2015 Theme: Masculinities
Saturday, March 7, 2015
Baltimore, MD
Keynote speakers: Dr. Mark Anthony Neal, Professor of African and African American Studies, Duke University; and Mr. Kylar Broadus, Founder, Trans People of Color Coalition
CALL FOR PAPERS
The program in Women’s and Gender Studies at Morgan State University invites papers on themes related to the intersection of masculinities with sexuality, race, gender, and ethnicity. The fluidity of gender and sexual identity is a critical point of consideration in academic and cultural venues; however, it is even more critical when considered within the context of communities of color. Broadening our definitions and conversations on this fluidity, especially as it relates to Black masculine identities and sexuality, is a primary aim of this year’s Intersections Symposium. The Symposium seeks to engage overlapping and intersecting notions and presentations of masculinities in the contexts of identity politics, social change and queer identities as they disrupt the normative and oppressive status quo.
We invite submissions in a variety of academic disciplines that address the intersections of sexuality, gender, race, and ethnicity. We encourage panel submissions of 4 presenters as well as individual submissions in the following areas:
· Trans Issues
· Female Masculinities
· Communities of Color
· Global Contexts
· Queer Theory
Submission guidelines: Send 250 word abstract for individual papers and panels in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, Rich Text format, and include the following:
a. A cover page with author’s name, title of submission, institutional affiliation, contact information (email, phone number and mailing address)
b. Area of submission
Send materials by December 12th to:
Intersectionssymposium@gmail.com
Notification of acceptance: January 9, 2015
Following the Symposium, presenters are invited to submit conference proceedings for publication consideration in a special edition of the peer reviewed Journal of Men’s Studies.
EDUCATION is fundamental.
There are endless opportunities to teach in research-based settings, with monetary benefits as well! Check out some of these paid positions available for these 3 popular programs for THIS UPCOMING SUMMER (deadlines fast approaching):
