Welcome to ICLASP!
We are excited to welcome students to ICLASP19 at the University of Arizona! We hope you’ll join us in exploring exciting new research in the field of Language and Social Psychology. ICLASP19 provides an opportunity to engage with scholarship through panels and discussions, as well as in spaces provided for impromptu conversations. The conference is also organized to facilitate mentorship. You’ll be able to meet and receive feedback from prominent scholars. Even if you only have a project in an early stage, we encourage you to consider the new 3x5 interactive presentation format, which provides time for you to ask questions from other scholars. Additionally, ICLASP19 will serve as a great opportunity for meeting fellow students, making new friends, and finding research collaborators.
Below, you’ll find more details about the scholarship, mentorship, and fellowship opportunities at ICLASP19, as well as tips for keeping the conference affordable for as a student.

Tamar Murachver Top Student Paper Award
Tamar Murachver Top Student Paper Award
One opportunity unique to graduate students is the Tamar Murachver Top Student Paper Award, an award given in honor of Dr. Tamar Murachver and her kindness, intellect, and mentorship. The winner will be recognized at the conference and receive a conference registration fee waiver. This is a great opportunity to be recognized for your research skills and contributions to the field.
If you’d like to be considered for this award, you must indicate on your ICLASP submission that it is “student-led” and submit an additional letter describing the significance of your contribution. Student-led papers are defined as: Papers where the sole or lead author was enrolled as a university student at the time of submission. In the case of faculty co-authorship, the authors are in agreement that the lead student made the most significant contribution to the paper (i.e., research conceptualization, research design, collection and analysis of data, and writing the final report). In all cases the student must be the first author. Only individual paper and poster presentation submissions are eligible for this award.
