The Tindale Graduate Workshop
Highlighting research in argumentation by current graduate students
Wednesday 6, June 2007 in Katzman Lounge, Vanier Hall

To accommodate the recent work of a number of graduate students, OSSA is sponsoring a pre-conference graduate student workshop on Wednesday, June 6th. This features papers by current graduate students, giving them an opportunity to discuss their work with other students and attending faculty. The workshop is a separate event from the main conference and does not involve those student papers that were accepted for the regular programme, with commentators assigned.  Rather it provides an opportunity for students who were not in a position to submit a proposal last September and want a more informal forum in which to present their work.
