Showcasing Your Work

Showcase your work visually in a conference setting. Posters are designed for the presentation of preliminary work in the early stages. The poster session is interactive and fun way to engage with peers and obtain constructive criticism. Poster presentation skills are important to master and many professional societies have arms specific for undergraduate work. We have had students present and volunteer in exchange for free registration for the AAAS meeting each February ( 2020 is Envisioning Tomorrow’s Earth). SACNAS is a particularly good conference for those from under represented minorities seeking graduate training in STEM. Please see this Posters: Prep, Practice, and Post for resources, links, and questions to prep, practice and prepare for post poster session work.

Another venue for showcasing work and provide you with an opportunity to present work while developing oral communication skills. Remember to practice with your faculty mentor prior to the final presentation. Eugene Lang College Dean’s Honor Symposium is a great way to place your work in context with other Lang students, and is hosted each April and is accompanies by mentorship and 1 credit course.

These provide you with an opportunity to present your work while developing written communication skills, and there are many journals that cater to undergraduates. This Undergraduate Research Journals Backgrounder and List offers some advice and background of why this is an important activity for undergraduates and provides a list of journal titles across all disciplines and tips on how to publish your work. This site has an even more diverse set of publications and note that the Consilience journal takes many formats ( photo essay, opinion, article etc). Also note that the Journal of Global Health published by Columbia University is a great venue as well. Columbia also has a undergraduate research journal for all fields.

One of the easiest and most widely read outlets for sharing videos, short news, stories, feature length, long form pieces of writing. Many of your short reflections, article summaries, poems, short stories, or extra credit events summaries can be repurposed here.

New School Free Press Accepts submissions of work, articles, opinion pieces from any students at TNS.

12thStreetOnline Current students at TNS can submit work to the blog that explores the intersections between writing, art, multimedia, and democracy. In the New School tradition, we consider this to be a broad exploration that can include all media that seeks to have a discussion about the artist in the world. Pieces can range from overtly political as well as more personal.

Eleven and a Half at Lang College run a journal for literature, incorporating fiction, poetry, nonfiction and other formats. Submission deadlines here. Pieces can range from overtly political as well as more personal.

Planetary Health Storytellers The Planetary Health Alliance calls upon those in our community passionate about communications to help us build narratives in planetary health and share them with the broader public. We are continuously building upon our extensive collection of research materials, and we urge you to explore it. Parse through our bibliography, connect with researchers at our convenings and online forums, and see where and how you can craft stories to share with the world.

The Mighty Health and Narrative Medicine. Provides monthly blogging prompts, submission is straightforward. Accepts text based and video based stories that educate, ignite change, or raise awareness. Some of their story tellers write to find a community, to let someone else know they are not alone, to provide empathy. Some write to inspire, to encourage, to flip a stereotype on its head, to end stigmas. Some write to say thank you, to highlight beautiful moments in life. Some write because they simply have a story to tell. They also accept blogs that have been published elsewhere.
