GHS

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
