The School of Mass Communication and Journalism (MCJ) graduate research forum is an informal monthly seminar/presentation event for MCJ graduate students and faculty members to discuss research projects and exchange ideas.
This forum is intended to achieve the following goals:
Motivate discussion and debate among MCJ graduate students and faculty on research topics in different areas of mass communication and journalism. This discussion should also provide useful feedback for the presenters and improve their work.
Provide practical advice and insight for graduate students on wide range of issues such as “How to write a research paper or a thesis” or “How to find a job.”
Help graduate students improve their presentation skill and practice for their formal talks (comps exams, defenses, conference presentations, etc.).
Provide an opportunity to socialize with other students and faculty in the school that you may not see on a regular basis.
Presentations are limited to 15 minutes to leave sufficient time for group discussion.
In a nutshell, we would like to use this forum to improve the quality of research among graduate students in the School of Mass Communication and Journalism, and provide useful information that will help students succeed in the graduate program, i.e. finishing the program, getting published and writing a good thesis/dissertation.
The forum is open to all graduate students and faculty. Its success depends on your participation. If you have any suggestions for the forum, or you would like to present your research at the forum, please contact Dr. Fei Xue (Dr. X). Some of the presentations will be recorded upon permission and posted on the forum podcast site.
