Following Dr. Chen’s CMS Speaker Series lecture, join us for an informal, interactive conversation on socio-legal and qualitative research.
We will begin with a brief Q&A with Dr. Chen on her career trajectory in law and social science, followed by a discussion of her research project “Student to Worker Pathways in Canada and the U.S.” Registered participants will receive a description of the project and grant application in advance to review and provide feedback. This coffee chat is a chance to discuss interdisciplinary methods, comparative research design, and grant proposals in a collegial setting. It will also be of interest to those interested in U.S. immigration and international students. Graduate students are especially welcome!
Coffee, refreshments, and fun and inclusive vibes will be provided.
