Sharing Knowledge
This virtual seminar offers researchers an opportunity to share and receive feedback on article- and chapter-length works in progress. For each meeting, one or two authors will circulate their work a week before the seminar, and two commenters will lead off the seminar before opening up discussion. These seminars are free and open to anyone who would like to participate. Participants must register in advance to receive copies of the papers, sending an email to tania.rispoli@duke.edu
