The UNM C&J Research Colloquium Series

Description
The C&J Department’s Research Colloquium Series brings in speakers one or two times each month during the academic year. Unless otherwise noted, colloquia are held the second Wednesday of each month from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. A light lunch is served at each event for the first 15 minutes and is followed by a 45-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A session. Approximately 25 to 40 people attend, including faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students from C&J, and people from across the university and community.

Mission Statement
The colloquium series strives to provide an intellectual presentation and exchange of various communication, interdisciplinary, and community-based topics and ideas. The series features scholarship from a mixture of methodological and epistemological traditions and provides diverse perspectives and ideas. We strive to create a meeting place for invited scholars, community members, and departmental faculty members and graduate students to share their research.

The dates of the 2012-2013 school-year colloquium sessions are as follows:

  • Wednesday, Oct. 24, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., C&J 116
    Mentoring (and a very brief introduction to ICCC)

    We are going to cover both how to more effectively mentor, and how to get the most out of mentoring relationships. Based on informal conversations, it sounds like there are a number of questions about navigating both C&J and academia as a whole.

  • Wednesday, Nov. 28, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., C&J 116
    Screening of the film "The Milagro Beanfield War Revisted: Joe Mondragon's Legacy for New Mexico"

The film features interviews with Joe Cisneros (Joe Mondragon), John Nichols, Governor Susana Martinez and others. Funding was received from UNM in the form of a $4,000 RAC grant.
