Fellows may present their own work and receive focused feedback or engage with the work of visiting speakers relevant to the Centre’s mission.
As an alternative to research talks, the weekly seminar will occasionally take the form of brainstorming or explorative meetings consisting of very short pitches for research ideas followed by extensive, longer discussions. This format is hoped to foster novel interdisciplinary research projects.
