Seminars
To further support the building of an interdisciplinary research community, a regular seminar series is held with required participation by all WSSS students for at least one year. A seminar is held three times each month for the months of September through December, February through April. One of the six participating WSSS Schools organizes the seminar each month. There is an outside or faculty speaker once each month. During another of the monthly seminars during the first semester, second or more advanced WSSS students discuss their research. In the second semester, first year WSSS students present their research. In the other monthly seminar, students take turns moderating discussion of a research paper selected by faculty from the WSSS School organizing the seminar that month.

Workshops
The program has a small series of intensive workshops to develop skills in leadership, public speaking, teaching, development of research and program proposals, project management and budgeting, and the ethical conduct of research. These are scheduled throughout the academic year.

All seminars will be held at 4:00 pm in Cabot 205 (Fletcher School) unless otherwise noted.
