Graduate Forum

The Program in Early Cultures Graduate Forum meets about monthly to discuss research, professionalization, and pedagogy in an informal format. We provide a venue for students with interests in Early Cultures across all our departments to meet and socialize, and we welcome student-organised discussions or suggestions for future topics. All graduate students are welcome, whether or not you are enrolled in the Certificate.
