AAE Student Research Colloquium
About the AAE Student Research Colloquium:
The THC-SRC is an independent forum for graduate students to present and discuss research ideas with their peers.Students utilize the forum to receive critical feedback on their own research, educate themselves about unfamiliar fields, help classmates improve their work, and develop new research ideas and methodological skills. Graduate students with similar interests from other social science fields are also encouraged to present. Presentations will be held on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. in B30 of Taylor Hall unless otherwise noted.
If you are interested in presenting please email Becky Cleary (rcleary@wisc.edu) or Dan Mooney (dfmooney@wisc.edu) with the anticipated title of your presentation (you can change this at any time), the date of the Tuesday that you would like to present, and your name. We encourage all submissions to also include a second-best back-up date. An abstract of 50 words or less, which will be posted on this site, is also encouraged, although not required. Submissions will be accepted throughout the semester on a rolling basis and Tuesdays will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The acceptance rate of submissions is 100%.
For other opportunities to present your work, please consider the departmental seminars or submitting to a conference.
