Research exchange
Group meetings.
Weekly discussions of current research, papers of interest, and work in progress.
Weekly format
Research in conversation.
The group meets regularly during the academic year. Meetings usually include two short presentations: a discussion of a recent paper and an update from a member of the group.
We also invite external speakers to present their work. On seminar days, the seminar replaces the usual meeting format.
Usual time12:00 PM–1:00 PM
