Each year a small number of Emerging Scholar Awards are given to outstanding early-career scholars or graduate students. The Award offers complimentary registration and Network Membership. It provides a robust professional development opportunity for early career academics to meet experts in the field, interact with colleagues from other parts of the world, and create networks and lasting connections. In our model, we have two kinds of Emerging Scholars -- In-Person and Online Only. Across all formats, Emerging Scholars play a critical role in the conference by leading discussions and chairing parallel sessions and are offered a publication pathway for their research. This way, we can provide maximum exposure for this selected group of researchers.

I totally enjoyed and learned a lot from the CG Scholar platform. It was very integrative and scholarly and helped in showcasing the research that is being done in different parts of the world."
My experience at the 2022 Conference as an Emerging Scholar was immensely fruitful. I have benefitted tremendously from my fellow panelists' advice and suggestions, which helped shape a journal article and a very important chapter of my dissertation. I'm so grateful for this wonderful opportunity and mentorship. Highly recommended!"
