Collaborating with Strangers (CoLAB) Workshops

Smathers Library 100
Hey Stranger... looking for a way to combine forces with other folks in the humanities and beyond? Collaborating with Strangers workshops connect students, faculty, and researchers on campus during 3-minute speed-meetings. You’ll walk away with more resources, solutions, and creative ideas than you ever imagined! Focused conversations will yield the following:
1) potential collaborative relationships;
2) generation of research “grand-challenge” questions spanning disciplines; and,
3) problem solving of issues by discovering hidden resources.
CoLAB Workshops will be followed by lunch.
CoLAB Idea Table Cafés
Thursday, 11 January, 2018 - 3:00 pm-5:00 pm or
Friday, 19 January, 2018 - 10:00 am-12:00 pm
Smathers Library 100
Join other CoLABers for Idea Table Cafés where we will extend the benefits of CoLAB Workshops by expanding the connections and ideas that were generated during a CoLAB Workshop. This facilitated, casual environment will stimulate new possibilities of working with each other to combine research, teaching, and other collaborative opportunities, including a proposal to the Intersections Research into Teaching Grant.
CoLAB Idea Table Café sessions will be followed by a lunch or reception.
