Young Scholar (G Arthur Broten) Presentation – Submit Here

The G Art Broten Young Scholar Presentation is one of the concrete ways WSKW supports faculty and professionals as they launch the scholarship component of their careers. The Young Scholar Award Coordinator makes a call for Young Scholars papers annually. Submitted papers are peer-evaluated, and award winners are selected. Time is allotted during the conference for selected young scholars to present (required) their papers. The papers can be issue-based (e.g., white papers) or original research.

Check here for additional information about the Art Broten Young Scholar Award.

Submit your paper for the Art Broten Young Scholar Award at the WSKW Annual Conference.  Provide the requested information and upload your paper and vita as PDF files. The annual proposal deadline is June 15.

You will hear back from the award coordinator by late July.

FAQ

Do proposals have to be tied to the conference theme?
No. While we are certainly seeking theme-related presentations, WSKW has always provided a venue for faculty from all disciplines to present their work. Conference attendees then have the opportunity to broaden their understanding of issues beyond their own specific area of expertise.
We plan to do our best to get word back by July 15th to those who submit proposals.
Faculty selected to receive the young scholar award are invited to submit the paper they presented for review. The process is as follows:
  1. After young scholar awardees present at the conference, the journal editor contacts each and invites them to submit their paper (or an expanded version) for review. More information can be found at the Journal of Kinesiology & Wellness.
  2. Young scholar awardees then either submit a paper or decline the invitation to submit a paper.
  3. If a young scholar awardee submits a paper then it gets reviewed like any other submission and the editor, following review of the paper can accept, accept with revisions, or reject.
A hot topic is a tag attached to a presentation. It can be discipline-specific or related to the conference theme. Each discipline has issues that emerge and recede over time. If your work is related to a current hot topic in your field or is a theme-related hot topic, be sure to note that when you fill out the online submission form.
