GHS

Hi everyone,
This is just a quick reminder that David Montgomery’s talk will be today at 5:30 at the Seamans Center (1505). The Seamans Center is the building on your left as you walk towards the Main Library from Schaeffer. The easiest way to get to 1505 is to enter through the South Entrance (there are a bunch of glass doors) and go down the stairs.

Also, for those who are interested, Professor Montgomery will be meeting with graduate students around 10:30 today at the Java House. This is a chance to meet with Professor Montgomery on an informal basis.

Events Tomorrow with Professor Montgomery:

• 10:30-meeting with interested graduate students at Java House (day 2)
• 12:00-Brown Bag lunch: current and future state of Labor History, moderated by Shel Stromquist
• Dinner time (specifics will be announced)-Dinner at the Sanctuary with anyone who interested in meeting Professor Montgomery in a relaxed atmosphere.

I hope to see you at any of these various events.

Dear Colleagues:
GHS is in the process of planning our colloquium program for the Fall Semester. We’d like to make the series as exciting and useful to the graduate student community as possible. I’d like to get a sense of graduate student interest with an informal email poll. Please email me with your vote for the sessions you are most interested in. If you have suggestions for completely different sessions, or ways to improve/redirect these proposals, it might be useful to have a forum on GHS-discussion.

Tentative Session Proposals:

1. Grant Finding, Grant Writing
2. Demystifying Conferences (part 1 of 2): Finding Conferences, Submitting Abstracts and Papers to Conferences, Finding Panels and…
   Navigating Conferences (part 2 of 2): Turning a Research Paper of Thesis Chapter into an oral presentation, Making the most out of the experience (handling questions, networking, etc).
3. Evaluating Academic Culture: responses to short article on the challenges (?) of gender and family in academic culture.
4. Job Search: creating CVs, writing cover letters, etc.

I look forward to reading your reactions.

Thanks,
Anna Bostwick
