Hosted by the UW Libraries Research Commons and Core Programs in the Graduate School, Scholars’ Studio is a quarterly event featuring up to 10 short presentations (5 minutes each) by UW graduate students and postdocs. Each quarter we invite proposals for talks on a theme, in order to encourage the cross-disciplinary sharing of research. The event is fast paced and fun. It includes a Q&A with presenters, and a reception. Presenters receive feedback on their presentations through feedback forms distributed to audience members. Scholars’ Studio is an excellent opportunity for grad students looking to make connections and build presentation skills.

The theme this quarter is Visions. Think: Microscopic, activisms, speculation, futurism, arts, anthropocene, optics, disability justice, virtual reality, vision statements, hallucinations, superheroes, augmented reality, pathways, surveillance, specter, spirituality, data visualization, social justice, telescopic, imagination, cinematic, strategy. What's your vision?

Proposals are due November 2nd.
