PhD Colloquium
The PhD Colloquium is a time and place for PhD students to present their research in front of their peers and other invited guests to receive constructive feedback. The academic chair of the colloquium is methodology professor Anna Seleny who attends the sessions. All current PhD students are encouraged to attend and to present, when appropriate, as this is the way to stay connected, network and gain insight into the substantive tasks of completing the dissertation.
