Faculty Works-in-Progress Seminars, 2007-2008
The Women's Studies Program and the Alice Paul Center "Works-in-Progress" Seminar is a forum for Penn faculty to present and receive feedback on their work. Those who attend the seminar will receive a copy of the "work-in progress" ahead of time. At the session, two respondents speak briefly (5-10 minutes) about the paper and then the session will be opened for discussion. The idea is to keep the seminar informal.
All seminars are held at noon on Fridays, lunch is served, and RSVPs are required in order to plan lunch and in order for attendees to receive the paper. To sign up for the mailing list or to receive further information, email: .
