WIDEN (Workshops for Inter-Discipline Exchange & Novelty) - Call for Presenters

WIDEN (Workshops for Inter-Discipline Exchange & Novelty) invites proposals for its 2010-2011 season.

WIDEN aims to reveal the shared projects and symbiotic insights emerging from the inquiries of graduate students at the University of Toronto. Each workshop consists of three 10- to 15-minute presentations of research on a common theme by graduate students working in three different disciplines, followed by a half-hour of discussion.

Call for Presenters

While WIDEN welcomes all proposals on an ongoing basis, we are currently looking to fill the final spots on our fall panels on Civil Liberties (our G20 edition), Pain, Plants & Gardens, and Death (our Halloween edition). Proposals need only describe an idea in brief, and announce the discipline or program in which the student is working. Presentations may consist of original research, or may address how a particular discipline responds to the theme at hand.
Please contact Jessica Duffin Wolfe at j.wolfe@utoronto.ca to submit a proposal, or to join our mailing list.

Other panel themes currently under consideration for 2010/11 include Allies, Inheritance, Perception, Evidence, Love, Property, the Moon, Smallness, Place, Autism, Orientation, Reproduction, Manners, Sex, Israel-Palestine, Citizenship, Propriety, Heat, Waste, Reality, Home, and Virtues. Please feel free to suggest other themes, or dates that might be worth commemorating with a workshop--we're always eager to program events that coincide with pertinent anniversaries.
