FIREtalk: Tools of the Trade

The Research Commons invites graduate students from any discipline to participate in our next FIREtalk, Tools of the Trade. To be part of the discussion, submit your proposal for a 5-minute presentation by April 16th, 2014. Or, if you don’t want to present, attend as an audience member and join the discussion after the presentations!

This month’s theme is Tools of the Trade:

Our trade is producing knowledge and implementing it. What are some of the tools that are being used? Choosing the appropriate tool or method for your research is one of the most critical components for advancing academic inquiry. What approaches to research are in the academic’s toolbox? Share with an interdisciplinary audience how a tool or method is used in your field:

  • interdisciplinary perspectives
  • mixed methods designs
  • meta-analysis strategies
  • cutting edge technology
  • classic techniques proven by time

When: Wednesday, April 23, 4-6 pm

Where: Koerner Library, Room 216
