The Transdisciplinary Research-in-Progress Seminar (TRIPS)

Wednesdays from 12:00 to 1:30 pm in Champlain College E1.2

TRIPS is a transdisciplinary forum designed to stimulate the mobility of ideas across the disciplines and inter-disciplines in the human sciences at Trent.  The seminar encourages participants to engage in a critical and comparative dialogue that transcends the epistemologies of current fields of scholarship, as well as area, region, and nation-based research.  TRIPS will involve the presentation of faculty working papers based on research in progress. Lunch will be provided courtesy of Champlain College.  RSVP to Dana Gee before each seminar.
