Poster Sessions
In a normal world, in-person attendees would be invited to circulate the poster sessions and interact with young scholars as they discussed their research projects. This year, as you know, nothing is normal; and we’re trying to simulate the same experience in a virtual setting. Our young scholars have worked really hard this summer to deliver public good, and would love to share their research in their virtual “zoom rooms” after the plenary session. (Zoom links will be shared with registered attendees on the day of the Symposium.)
Before the Symposium, learn more about each research project, including brief overview, teaser video, and students involved, by following the links below. On the day of the event, join the zoom room for each project using the links that will be provided to registered attendees.
