Young (or Early Career) Scholars Conference
The next Young (or Early Career) Scholars Conference will be held on October 18th, 2024 at the University of Notre Dame.
In conjunction with the presentation of the John D. McCarthy Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Scholarship in Social Movements, The Center for the Study of Social Movements at Notre Dame will be hosting the eleventh annual Young (or early career) Scholars Conference on October 18th, 2024. The recipient of the 2024 McCarthy Award, Dr. Donatella della Porta, will attend, and other senior scholars visiting Notre Dame for the award presentation will serve as discussants for the conference.
We will invite a limited number of advanced graduate students or early-career faculty to present a work solidly in-progress at the conference, enjoy an opportunity to discuss their work with some of the leading scholars in the field, and meet others in the new cohort of social movement scholars. Conference attendees will also be invited to the McCarthy Award Lecture and the award banquet.
Please check back soon for more information on how to apply to attend the 2024 conference. You may also reach out to the Center's director, Dr. Rory McVeigh (rmcveigh@nd.edu) with any questions.
