First-year Research and Scholarship Training Seminar

Awards: Spring 2026, Fall 2026

This seminar engages first-year graduate students in professional development and training in areas key to academic success. I have taught an open, interdisciplinary section of GradFIRST as well as one specifically for students in the Museum Studies MA Program that has a special emphasis on building a community among the incoming student cohort and navigating the program. Seminar topics include time management, planning your graduate education and career roadmaps, getting the most out of graduate mentoring, and how to do archival research.
