Race & Ethnicity Workshop
Faculty Coordinator(s): Wendy Leo Moore
Student Coordinator(s): Jennifer Mueller

The Race & Ethnicity Workshop provides faculty and graduate students with an informal and friendly setting to present works in progress (e.g., dissertation proposals or chapters, book prospectuses, article-length manuscripts) and receive constructive feedback. It also provides an opportunity for graduate students to develop closer working relationships with faculty and other students who share their general interest in the scholarly study of race and ethnicity. The workshop features a lively and interactive series of both student and faculty presentations on an alternating basis. Presenters will distribute their work one week prior to the meeting to allow participants sufficient time to prepare comments; at the meeting the presenter will prepare a 15-20 minute presentation that will be followed by Q&A.Unless otherwise noted, all workshop meetings are held on Fridays from 7pm to 9pm off campus. Participants are asked to please indicate their attendance, and bring snacks and beverages.

The Race & Ethnicity Workshop provides faculty with an organizing space for various works in progress such as research proposals, book prospectuses, and article-length manuscripts. It also provides a setting in which faculty from various disciplines who share a general interest in the scholarly study of race and ethnicity might benefit from discussion and commentary from outside of their own discipline. Discussions are intended to be lively, interactive, and collegial. Unless otherwise noted, all workshop meetings are held on (date and time TBA) in 326 Academic Building. Light refreshments (water, tea, coffee) will be provided.
