The Working Papers Series (WPS) offers graduate students the opportunity to workshop their papers in a supportive environment; we have two official commentators on each paper, one faculty member and one graduate student--and, of course, all who attend the meeting are invited to respond. You needn’t be directly affiliated with the ACGCC to join us. The WPS grew out of the need voiced by graduate students for concrete and helpful feedback from presentations. Thus, the work being reviewed is available in hard copy in the ACGC Center, and the graduate student does not read it at the WPS event. The idea is that the time should be spent discussing the work and responding to it. Therefore, both the faculty and graduate student respondents offer written and verbal responses (the written should be no more than a page), with suggestions and critiques. The meeting will be held in South Hall 2714 and hard copies of the papers will be available in the ACGCC Tuesday April 14. If you want more information or have questions come by the ACGCC. |
