The Global Studies Graduate Workshop is a low-pressure forum for UW-Madison graduate students to discuss and refine their work. Each month, one participant presents a dissertation chapter, conference paper, job talk, or even a grant proposal. Students represent a variety of academic deparments including: Anthropology, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Policy, German, History, Journalism and Mass Communication, Political Science, Public Affairs, and Sociology, among others. These workshops have proven to be an invaluable resource for those working on global issues that extend beyond the borders of individual departments. The workshop is open to any and all UW-Madison graduate students.

The Graduate Workshop is an informal, interdiscplinary discussion on graduate student work on international issues and is free and open to any graduate student -- but .

 

There will be no more Graduate Workshops in Spring 2008. We are looking for students interested in presenting in Fall 2008 (see "Call for Volunteers" below).

Do you have a conference presentation that you would like to polish? A job talk you need to try out? Or maybe you have a paper you would like to submit for publication or a dissertation chapter that isn't quite ready to show your advisor? If you have any of these or any other sort of written document that deals with international issues (latu sensu) and would like to have it looked at by like-minded graduate students, this is your chance! Please email Steve Smith if you are interested in presenting in Fall 2008.
