This is a hybrid event, taking place in-person at the CUNY Graduate Center, Elebash Recital Hall, and online via zoom.
Don’t miss this fun, fast-paced event celebrating new research taking place within the CUNY Graduate Center community. In the sixth annual showcase, selected doctoral candidates will make short presentations, describing their dissertations in three minutes each. They will share innovative scholarship — in language for a general audience — across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. A prize will be given to the student who does the best job translating his or her research for the public, chosen by a panel of judges, and viewers will decide on the Audience Choice Award. Join us in person or online to hear fresh ideas and support our graduating students.
Topics include the school-to-prison pipeline for students with disabilities, cassette tapes in Argentina’s independent music scene, how Chinese-English bilingual speakers face discrimination, the rise and fall of NYC’s Transport Workers Union, signals that predict when quiet volcanoes will erupt, the idea of apocalypse in political thought from Hobbes to Keynes, and many others across a wide spectrum of disciplines.
