Workshops and Softblocks[edit]

Summer 2024 quarter workshops are on Wednesdays at 12:30pm ET / 11:30am CT / 9:30am PT. Please circulate/share your work by the end of the day (in your local time) of the Wednesday preceding your slot.

The CDSC workshop provides a weekly venue to present/share work about once per quarter. The softblock provides a time for coworking sessions, meetups with other labs and researchers, and ad-hoc meetings.

Like in the critique and feedback session, you are welcome to workshop a wide range of things: planning documents, draft papers, manuscripts with reviews, grant applications, job market materials, practice talks, brainstorming potential projects, etc.

Everyone is expected to attend the workshop sessions. Everyone is also expected participate by attending and presenting/sharing work each quarter. Sign up below!

As we iteratively build out this schedule, don't forget to check the holiday schedule for each campus. Veteran's Day is observed at UW but not (as of 2023) at NWU or Purdue. Also, quarterly breaks can diverge.

-== Overview ==
+== Workshops and Softblocks ==
-Starting in the Fall 2021 quarter, we are implementing weekly workshops in place of softblocks + a 3-hour C+F session. The main idea is that the CDSC workshop provides a weekly venue to present/share work about once per quarter. This would be similar to C&F, but spread over the quarter; in Fall 2021, we first tried this out in place of a C+F block.
-<b>Everyone is expected to attend the workshop sessions. Everyone is also expected to sign up to present/share work each quarter.</b>

-Winter 2022: In the week you are presenting/sharing, you should circulate something for the group by EOD Thursday before your Monday slot. Like in the C&F, you are welcome to workshop a wide range of things: planning documents, draft papers, manuscripts with reviews, grant applications, job market materials, practice talks, brainstorming potential projects, etc.
