The PhD Research Workshops are opportunities for Schar School doctoral students to practice their presentation skills, receive constructive feedback from faculty and fellow students, and learn about other students’ research. Each workshop is organized in the format of a “mini conference” in which faculty members, students, and attendees will be invited to give comments. Presentations are open to all Schar School PhD students in any program and at any stage, whether to develop early research ideas or to prepare for a conference, defense, or job talk. Snacks provided.
