REGISTRATION
SUPER-SL seeks original research from current undergraduate students at universities across Southern Louisiana in the broad categories of Political Science, Economics, Political Economy, Public Health, and Policy. Students may present research at any stage of the research process, from proposal to finished product.
All submissions will be reviewed by an editorial team, as well as SUPER-SL's directors. Submissions will be evaluated on quality/rigor of research methods and structure, uniqueness of focus, and potential to contribute to the greater academic community.
​
Accepted students will prepare posterboards with brief summaries of their research projects/proposals, including abstracts, findings, and charts. These posterboards will be displayed on tables throughout the exhibition. Authors must remain with their posterboards for the majority of the event, but are encouraged to periodically interact with other student researchers.
​
Authors will have the opportunity to present their research to, and interact/network with, premiere professional researchers from the Murphy Institute, Tulane University, and universities across Southern Louisiana and beyond, and will receive priority consideration for publication in the Journal's upcoming editions.
