Dissertation Colloquium Candidacy

1 credits · Graduate credit

The dissertation colloquium seeks to meet three needs: (1) to provide useful criticism of disseration work from a wider range of expertise and methodological points of view than normally encompassed in a dissertation committee; (2) to provide advanced students with experience in public presentation of scholarly papers; (3) to create an intellectual forum that will bring together graduate students in disparate fields, so as to encourage cross-field dialogue and consequent broadening of horizons.
