Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to present your work in progress and receive valuable feedback from your peers in smaller groups. It’s an opportunity to dive into discussions about your research and explore how interdisciplinary perspectives can enrich our understanding of pressing social issues. To wrap up, we’ll hold roundtable discussions where participants can share insights and tackle common themes, diving deep into methodological and theoretical considerations that shape our fields.
