Prepare to Pitch 1: The CURL Fellowship Process
In this first session of the Prepare to Pitch series, we will provide an overview of the CURL Fellowship and application process. We will touch on a number of important aspects including eligibility criteria, approaching potential faculty mentors, the assessment process, and potential project deliverables. We will also discuss how to brainstorm and refine a potential topic, prepare for the written proposal, and provide examples of past projects. Students at any stage of the process are invited to attend this session, even those who are simply curious about CURL!
Fall Term: Monday, September 21, 5:30-6:30PM
Winter Term: Monday, February 1, 5:30-6:30PM
Prepare to Pitch 2: Research Proposal Workshop
The second session of CURL’s Prepare to Pitch series is geared towards students who are looking to refine their applications. Do you have a few final questions that you’d like answered before submitting your proposal? Some blanks to fill in? Come, ask away! Would you like some help polishing your proposal, or some feedback? This is the session for you. We will workshop proposals together, help each other conceptualize and speak to different audiences, and draw out and develop the story (“elevator pitch”) of your proposal.
Fall Term: Monday, October 5, 5:30-6:30PM
Winter Term: Monday, February 22, 5:30-6:30PM
Expanding Your Research Toolkit: Digital Research Methods
This workshop introduces students to a range of digital and computational research methods (including mapping, network analysis, text analysis, visualization, and data-driven approaches) and explores the kinds of questions these methods are designed to answer. Through examples drawn from the humanities, social sciences, interdisciplinary research, and activist projects, participants will consider how alternative methodologies might enrich their own research projects and fellowship applications. No prior technical experience is required.
Fall Term Date: Mon., November 8, 5:30-6:30PM
