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.
