Activities
Reading Group
The reading group consists of monthly two-hour online meetings. Each meeting will consist of two halves: a discussion of a recent piece of contributing literature followed by the opportunity for one of our members to present ongoing research or brainstorm new ideas. There will be 10-minute breaks between each part.
Use this form to request the Zoom link to our next meeting.
Meeting structure
- First half: during the first 55 minutes of each session, we cover a paper. There will be a lead discussant who sets the discussion in motion, and then the group jumps in.
- In the last final minutes, we wrap up and look for a volunteer to lead the next session (a new discussant may be recommended by PhD supervisors).
- A 10-minute break.
- Second half: the last 55 minutes are for a research presentation or brainstorming new ideas.
- In the final minutes, we look for a volunteer to present their research/discuss ideas in the next session (again, may be recommended by PhD supervisors).
