Share your research with a 12 to 15 minute talk, followed by audience discussion and questions. Presenters who select the oral presentation format will be placed on a panel with three to five other presentations. Each 90-minute session is organized around an academic discipline or inter-disciplinary theme based on the project summary submission.
Presenters will receive confirmation of their panel group and presentation time prior to the symposium. Panel sessions will be moderated by University of Oregon faculty or staff to support discussion and keep the session on schedule.
Each presenter or presenting group should be prepared to:
- Arrive 10 minutes prior to the session time
- Time: Present 12-15 minutes of content, with 3-5 minutes for audience questions and discussion
- Individual presenters and co-presenting groups are each allotted 12-15 minutes total
- Format: Use a slide deck or other visual aids (e.g., PowerPoint, images, audio or brief media clips) to support your presentation
- Content:
- Overview of Your Project: What was the central question, problem, creative focus or theme? Why does it matter in your field, discipline or community?
- Process & Approach: Explain how you carried out your work, your methods, creative process, analytical approach, or exploration.
- Key Insights or Findings: Share preliminary, ongoing, or completed results- final outcomes are not required.
- Contribution & Impact: What does your project add to your field, community, area of creative or scholarly practice?
- What next steps, possibilities, or questions emerged from your work?
Plan to stay for the full 90-minute panel session to support your fellow presenters and be part of the conversation.
