The Toronto Society of the Archaeological Institute of America invites graduate and undergraduate studens to submit abstracts to the Third AIA Toronto Society Student Symposium "Making Space: How we Construct and View the World Around Us".  This year we are exploring the topic of space, both physical and conceptual.  We wish the scope of the symposium to be cross-cultural and cross-temporal and encourage students to submit an abstract for a 15 minute paper on any aspect of, or approach to this topic, including but not limited to anthropological, archaeological, art-historical, philological and sociological.  We will post all accepted abstracts on our website www.aiatoronto.ca.  Please submit your abstracts to Meg Morden memorden@gmail.com.
