http://www.mta.ca/news/?id=1114 ATLIS to host fourth
undergraduate conference, Nov.
17-19 SACKVILLE, NB — Between Friday,
November 17 and Sunday, November 19, Mount Allison University will be
hosting the fourth annual Atlantic International Studies (ATLIS) Conference
entitled "Banking on Development." The conference is open to all
undergraduate students in the Atlantic region and ATLIS is currently
accepting registration and papers from students who have an interest in
international relations. The 2006 ATLIS Conference will give students the opportunity to present
their research in an academic forum through paper presentations, workshops,
and a round table discussion with professionals in the field of
international relations. All papers presented at the conference will be
considered for publication in the ATLIS journal this spring. The conference highlights will include: student paper presentations, a
student-created workshop, a public round table, and a keynote address and
luncheon. The public round table will give students exposure to academic
discourse on their research interests. The presentations will allow students
at various Atlantic universities to share their academic interests with
other students and give them the chance to come together and develop new and
more innovative ways to be active global citizens.
The cost to register for the conference is $30, before October 10, and $35
thereafter. To register for the conference contact conference@atlis.ca; if
you are interested in submitting a paper to the conference contact
president@atlis.ca (before October 20). ATLIS is a student run organization based out of Mount Allison University.
In just three years it has successfully hosted three conferences and
published three peer reviewed undergraduate journals. Its first online
journal was launched in the spring of 2004 and the third annual edition was
launched online early this September. All editions of the journal may be
viewed online at www.atlis.ca/journal.html —30— For more information please contact Cruger Dunn-Flannigan, ATLIS,
