We invite proposals from graduate students in the social sciences and related disciplines at
Columbia University; collaborators from other institutions are also welcome so long as a
Columbia student is involved in the project and seminar presentation.
Re-submissions from previous applicants are permitted.
The Seminar Series will meet 3-4 times in Spring 2019; the seminars will take place in the
Week of February 4, the Week of March 4, the Week of March 25, and the Week of April
22 in the Lindsay Rogers Room on the seventh floor in the International Affairs Building (Room
707; exact dates & times TBD). The first half-hour of the seminar will entail the presenter
detailing their project and research methodology, in order to open up the conversation among
participants for the remainder of the session. Food and drinks will be served at a small reception
following each seminar.
If selected, presenters are expected to send papers to the IIGSS committee one week before the
workshop. The committee will circulate papers to other participants.
