"Behind the Research II: How my Research Came to Be"

Join us for our second collaborative exploration of diverse methodologies being used across the department. In this reflective session, faculty and students come together to share the story behind their research. We’ll explore how research questions emerge, how methods are chosen, and how personal and academic experiences shape the trajectory of a project. The session invites participants to think beyond data and results, focusing instead on the journey -- the ideas, challenges, and insights that define their work.

When: Friday, November 22, 2024, 3 - 4 pm
