Trainees meet weekly

Our IGERT trainees completed their formal IGERT coursework last year. However, our IGERT trainees continued to meet weekly to discuss and critique peer-reviewed journal articles from different disciplines. Each week a trainee chooses a paper and emails the group pointed questions to consider during the discussion period that week. The focus of the discussions are on the disciplinary perspective of the paper; how this paper might relate to each trainees research and discipline; and if the paper had a conceptual framework or methodological approach that trainees might find useful. As such, IGERT trainees are exposed to research in a different discipline and the interdisciplinary nature of the article is discussed.
