2021 TOP STUDENT PAPERS
Pi Gamma Mu held its 2021 Triennial Convention online due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The convention was held on November 3-6, 2021. The convention had most of the features of in-person triennial conventions, with some extra features, and was much more affordable. Student members were encouraged to submit completed social science research papers for presentation consideration at the 2021 Convention. All accepted papers were ranked by the Committee of Readers. Dr. Charles Hartwig serves as Chair of the Committee of Readers and is the Chancellor of the South/Southwest Region on the Pi Gamma Mu Board of Trustees.
The top ten rated papers will receive publication consideration in the International Social Science Review. Seventeen (17) students presented during the student research paper sessions at the 2021 Convention. The top ten (10) papers are listed in alphabetical order below:
