IRG Annual Seminar
Organized by Lisa Bitel and Lynn Swartz Dodd
Seminars take place once a month over lunch. All interested scholars are welcome to attend seminar meetings. Our aim is to create a regular group that meets repeatedly throughout the year to consider a set of related and developing questions, think through different approaches and methods, and collectively generate some answers. Doctoral students who present papers and regularly attend the seminar are eligible for funding to present their revised papers at major national or international conferences.
