The National Association of Black Social Workers, Office of Student Affairs would like to all students (Undergraduate, Graduate,

and PHD) to submit requests to display Posters and Demonstrations at the 44th Annual NABSW Conference, A New Era of Social Justice And Civil Rights in Atlanta, Georgia. Posters and Demonstrations offer students an opportunity to present late-breaking research results, ongoing research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. The formal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations encourage presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable for the future work of presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. We invite submissions relevant to the area of Social Work, Social Justice, and Civil Rights issues affecting African American Communities.

Authors must submit an email including their name, address, and phone number along with a one-page extended abstract for evaluation. All submissions will undergo a common review process and will be contacted directly if approved. All authors must be a registered participant at the conference and present their work. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to Social Work and Social Justice, and Civil Rights issues: originality, potential significance, topicality and clarity. For demonstrations, authors are strongly encouraged to include in their submission a link to where the demo (live or recorded video) can be found. Presenters please make clear what exactly will be demonstrated to participants. The abstracts of accepted posters and demonstrations will be given to all conference attendees. Submissions should include the title of your poster and a one page description of your research. All posters should be prepared on a large 25x 25 or 28x 30 display boards. All Submissions are due to Secretary Zakia Pugh at osa-secretary@nabsw.org by Sunday March 18, 2012 no later than 5pm
