The CMRS Center for Early Global Studies (CMRS-CEGS) will host WIP sessions to promote intellectual exchange and collegiality within our scholarly community. These sessions are open to UCLA faculty and graduate students and consist of a short (no more than 20 minutes) informal presentation followed by open discussion.
Many forms in different stages can be proposed: articles and book chapters in progress, book proposals, grant proposals, and dissertation proposals can be pre-circulated. Brainstorming sessions around an idea or object are also welcome. We also invite students to present papers in preparation for upcoming conferences. When proposing a session, please indicate if your topic relates to the CMRS Research Axes.
To propose a session, please contact CMRS-CEGS at cmrs@humnet.ucla.edu.
