Graduate Research Colloquium Series
The Graduate Research Colloquium Series is a space for graduate students to share their GSWS-related work with other grad students from across the university's many schools and departments. It meets twice a semester and allows students the opportunity to workshop parts of chapters, articles, essays, conference papers, and presentations. Longer pieces are pre-circulated.
The colloquium series is made possible thanks to generous financial support from the Departments of Africana Studies, Comparative Literature, English, French, German, Hispanic Studies, History, History of Art, Italian, Political Science, and the Center for Global Women's Health.
Colloquia are currently coordinated by the GSWS Graduate Associate Zhanar Beketova (FIGS, Germanic Studies). Please contact Zhanar at beketova@upenn.edu for more information.
