THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Workshop Series
The Chicago Education Workshop, which meets weekly throughout the year, brings together students, faculty and other interested colleagues to discuss cutting edge research on education being conducted locally and around the nation. Its purpose is to create a lively forum in which scholars from a range of disciplines can scrutinize the empirical claims made by presenters. Presenters include locally or nationally distinguished scholars as well as Chicago PhD students. Sessions frequently focus on the logic of an argument, the relevance of the methodology, empirical findings, and potential alternative explanations. Each presenter is allocated 80 minutes for presentation, questioning, and discussion; the norm is for the format to be interactive, with key issues raised as they arise. Open discussion through individual or small group meetings with the speaker is encouraged after each workshop.
