To kick the year off, we will be holding a special town hall and happy hour to welcome new and returning participants alike. At 4 pm we will meet in 1155 E. 60th St. (Harris School building, new location of the Center for East Asian Studies), Room 319 for a brief discussion of the workshop’s goals and plans for this year. Come with your own suggestions and questions. Faculty and students (PhD and MAPSS) from all disciplines and specialties are welcome. At 5 pm we will walk over to the Pub in the basement of Ida Noyes Hall for the happy hour portion of our event.  See below for a map of the location of the two venues. Don’t forget to “like” our new Facebook page to connect with the workshop and other participants.
