Women in Quizbowl Panel at 2022 PACE NSC -- Open Call for Panelists!

Post by alisony.9 »

Hello everyone! Giifti Benti (Carbondale) and I (Alison Yau, Chattahoochee) are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an in-person Women in Quizbowl panel either Friday or Saturday evening at this year’s PACE NSC (exact time/room still being finalized)! This year's panel will be a revival of the previous Women in Quizbowl Panel hosted at HSNCT in 2019. Similar to that panel, we will be discussing questions relating to the nonmale experience in Quizbowl with a group of selected panelists.

We will be hosting an open call for the panelists here: https://forms.gle/19YovJVuhGAicPD36

We are aiming for about 6-7 panelists and ask that applicants be current high school students (Class of 2022 and younger), confirmed NSC attendees, and self identify as nonmale. We will do our best to accommodate everyone interested; the wonderful Mia McGill of PACE has offered to help us select a panel that will hopefully bring refreshing and diverse perspectives.

A note: although this event is titled “Women” in Quizbowl, we hope to be inclusive of all who do not identify as men. Everyone who is interested is welcome to attend and view the panel.

The form will close on Sunday, May 15th at 11:59 pm EST, and we will contact selected panelists ASAP. Finally, a big thank you to PACE for offering a venue to host the panel and supporting this project. We hope to meet everyone soon!
