This course provides a sequence of seminars during the two half-sessions. Each seminar is designed to provide a wide range of substantive learning experiences and opportunities to gain practical research skills. During the course, students will continue to build their PhD dissertation in alignment with their research project. At the end of the second half-session, the students will be expected to present the findings of their second year of research, to explore new findings and discoveries made in that research, and to present on a chapter from their dissertation.
