WELCOME! |
| Welcome
to the first "On-Line Research Colloquium" for the Joint-Ph.D. Program. In this forum you will have the
opportunity to participate in a scholarly research culture and community.
Such a culture typically is characterized by constructive reciprocity--you
give information and receive information, you give criticism and receive
criticism, you give support and receive support, you give credit, and
receive credit...). The colloquium format is ideal for facilitating such
reciprocity. It should give you the opportunity to learn from others, to
inform others, to reform your own research directions, and ... |

Formal Participants: |
| The formal participants are the two coordinators (Drs. Beynon and Morton), a dozen or so scholars from the first cohort, and a
few scholars from the second cohort who may choose to register. |
|
|
Informal Participants: |
| The informal participants are students from the second
cohort who wish to follow along, instructors from various electives,
dissertation committee members, program coordinators, and invited
guests. |

Philosophy |
| The participants
in a colloquium are scholars who may come from diverse backgrounds, may
represent different disciplines, may pursue different research agendas
using different paradigms, may show diverse skill levels, and may
present research at different stages of development. Diversity and
positive attitudes like sharing, supporting, suggesting, nurture the
researcher, and the research community. Growth of the researcher, the
research community, and the field of knowledge will follow. |

Methodology (Technical) |
| Since
we are using an on-line format rather than the normal face-to-face
format there may be some logistical problems to work through. However,
the tools for a successful colloquial interchange are available in an
on-line format. We plan to support and encourage a variety of formats
that participants wish to use (e.g., Web Pages, Web Sites, e-mail,
Document Attachments, PowerPoint, Discussion Threads, Chat Rooms, Video
Conference, Video files (MPEG), Posters, and even snail mail, or
cuneiform projects. |

Methodology (Pedagogical) |
| Although somewhat
similar to the Methodology described above, participants may wish to
consider additional pedagogical techniques (e.g., lecture,
collaborations, debate, problem solving, simulations, role playing,
construction, case study, field trips, e-field trips, games, and so on). |
