In our Summer Symposium 2018, Cohort V will present their “June papers” in very short talks (max 15 mins), and PIs, faculty, as well as invited visiting fellows and guests will comment on their progress. The purpose of the symposium is to give the students a chance to receive feedback on their dissertation outlines from a variety of different researchers, before they enter their fieldwork phase.
