GRADUATE INTERDISCIPLINARY DISSERTATION-WRITING SEMINARS - The Graduate School is sponsoring new interdisciplinary dissertation-writing seminars for doctoral students. The seminars are intended for those students whose work is explicitly interdisciplinary and whose intellectual and scholarly development at the dissertation writing stage would be enhanced through engaging with faculty and graduate students from other disciplines on topics of common interest. The seminars will be led by University faculty members selected for their distinguished records of interdisciplinary research and teaching and for their innovative seminar plans, which mesh with student interest as gauged by a 2008 survey. Ten seminars will be offered over the course of academic years 2008-2010. The first seminar in the inaugural series will be Academic Life as Pragmatic Action. For details on this seminar, and future ones, visit - http://www.grad.umn.edu/gradwriting/IDSeminars .
