Join us on Thursday, May 15th from 1 to 2 EDT for the Communication and Collaboration in Graduate Education and Research, webinar that will be held on IGERT.org. This webinar is open to all IGERT.org students, faculty, and staff as well as your colleagues and guests of the site. Listen as Michael O’Rourke (Michigan State), Sanford D. Eigenbrode (Univ. of Idaho), J.D. Wulfhorst (Univ. of Idaho), Stephen Crowley (Boise State) present: "Recently, SAGE Publications published the volume, Enhancing Communication and Collaboration in Interdisciplinary Research, a book that addresses the challenges of doing meaningful research with those from other disciplines who view the world and operate in it very differently than you do. In this collaborative webinar, the co-editors of this volume will lead a discussion of these challenges, inviting attendees to relate their own experiences with communication and collaboration challenges and situating these contributions in the context of the volume. The volume grows out of an IGERT project at the University of Idaho, and the special connections between the contents of the volume and IGERT will be emphasized. The webinar will also address the utility of the volume for those doing interdisciplinary work, emphasizing the resources it supplies that support the effective crossing of disciplines."
