The Political Violence and Its Legacies (PVL) Workshop coordinators are excited to continue the work of our interdisciplinary community. This semester we will be using our workshop as a platform to showcase and advance the scholarship of Yale’s own extraordinary graduate students (as well as one of our wonderful faculty members and coordinators).
Our workshop’s norms:
- All members are expected to have read the circulated papers ahead of the workshop, to minimize presentation time and maximize feedback time.
- Laptops and phones are strictly forbidden in our space, as a sign of respect for our presenters and colleagues.
We pride ourselves in creating a collegiate and productive environment; we have no doubt this year we’ll carry on this tradition!
See our schedule below. As always, it’s subject to change, so make sure to check our emails periodically.
