ICSLAC Happenings – January 2015
Both faculty and students are already off to a running start!
- The annual Dissertation Proposal Workshop will be held on Friday, January 15, 2015 from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. Lunch will be served and the workshop will be followed by a reception. At the workshop, the third- and fourth-year Cultural Mediations students will present preliminary articulations of their dissertation topics. After each presentation, there will be time for feedback and discussion with the aim of helping the students to refine and develop their topics into fuller dissertation proposals. A detailed program of the event will be circulated in advance.
