2:30 – 3:30 pm<\/strong>
MacLaurin Building D282 and online via Zoom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if a dissertation were more than a written document? In this session, participants will explore how graduate students are expanding the ways through which scholarly knowledge can be expressed beyond the written manuscript. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss how format, audience, and purpose shape dissertation design, and to consider new ways of conveying knowledge in ways that are impactful, accessible, and designed with both rigor and ethical responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
