The intention of the graduate workshop is to allow students, both the first-year cohort and all the graduate students in the department(s) as a group, to meet to discuss themes, topics, concerns, approaches, ideas, methods, and insights together and thus to build a sense of community, cohesiveness, and cooperation within the program and the department as a whole. We will meet for an hour on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to engage in discussion. Occasionally there may be related readings, first-year paper drafts, or common materials that you will be asked to read, edit, or engage with in advance of the workshop meeting, but I will let you know when that is the case. You may also be asked to present comments, questions, reflections, and sometimes written feedback on shared materials or to share drafts of your cv, cover letters, proposals and the like for comment and feedback. The goal of the workshop is to provide a shared space that is informative and supportive for our graduate student community and that will enrich your experience in the department.
