New research-focused speaker series to kick off this week

SSW doctoral students have led the efforts to create a new event that will offer a forum for sharing work, getting to know what’s going on, and facilitating the types of exchanges that support a stimulating intellectual environment/culture. Research Break is designed as a venue for everyone in the school to share ongoing work, get feedback, and generally build our collaborative community via “works in progress” sharing/discussions. Research Break will begin with a kick off presentation by PhD alumna Patricia Bamwine titled “The Narratives of Adolescent Homicide Survivors: Utilization of the Meaning Reconstruction Methodology." The presentation will be held on January 25th from 10-11am in 2217E Cathedral of Learning.Research Break will take place will take place every other Friday from 10:00-11:00 am in the School of Social Work. This is targeted for faculty, staff, and doctoral students as a place to bring current research projects for feedback. If you are interested in presenting at Research Break please contact doctoral student LauraEllen Ashcraft (lauraellenashcraft@pitt.edu) to volunteer for a slot.
