Graduate Student Research Workshops at NELC

There are several active research workshops associated with our department. The aim of the graduate student workshops is to encourage the establishment of ongoing collegial settings for graduate students who are learning to conceive and write scholarly articles, thesis prospectuses, and dissertations. Workshops also offer faculty members an opportunity to share drafts of scholarly work in progress.
