We are pleased to announce the continuation of our “Workshop on Cognition” for the 2012-2013 academic year, led by Sian Beilock and Dave Gallo. This workshop replaces the cognitive brown bag (CBB) talk series, We will bring together faculty and graduate students from the University of Chicago and beyond to create scholarly dialogue, to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration, and to foster exchange of ideas. Our goal is to use this workshop to more formally recognize our regular cognitive sessions within the university community as a whole, providing a destination for individuals interested in learning about or presenting their cognition-related work. One main emphasis of these workshops is the presentation of graduate student work in progress. The Workshop will involve a mix of outside faculty speakers, U of C faculty speakers, and Cognitive graduate students.
Please mark your calendars with the dates below – we will be meeting on Thursdays from 12-1:30pm in Beecher 101, and lunch will be provided.
