3:00 – 4:30 World Café on Theory (Rm 310 – and break out to various meeting rooms)
Research Week’s World Café offered an opportunity to join in the conversation regarding theory with a community of scholars. This event began with a brief introduction to theory and then break off into different sessions to explore theories, their epistemologies, uses, and implications for our research. Then everyone reconvened to share their experiences with others from different sessions. This was a time to engage deeply with issues with theories in research and how we might come to better understand those issues and their impact on our research.
