Journal Club: Conference Proposals
Thursday March 3, noon- 1pm in Berry 183

Join us for a unique journal club, in which our DCL colleagues' successful conference presentation proposals will be our reading material. We will read several proposals (and the related calls for papers from the conferences) and talk about elements of successful proposals. If time allows, we can workshop proposals that you might be preparing.
