Collaborative Research and Mentorship in the Era of COVID: A Roundtable Discussion

Graduate students and postdocs are integral parts of multidisciplinary research teams at Duke. Like faculty, they work closely with and mentor undergraduate researchers. Undeterred by the pandemic, graduate students and postdocs found new ways to connect with students last summer. At this virtual roundtable, we will hear from graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher who took collaborative research online. Panelists will reflect on their experiences organizing remote symposia and serving on remote research teams such as Bass Connections, Data+, and Story+. Panelists will reflect on their experiences serving on remote research and symposium teams in summer 2020 and participate in an informal discussion on mentorship and teamwork during these uncertain times. Gray F. Kidd, PhD candidate in History, will serve as moderator.

Panelists:

-Andrew Carr (PhD candidate in Sociology)

-Courtney Allen Crumpler (MFA candidate in Dance)

-Nicole Eitzen Delgado, PhD (Postdoctoral Associate in Latino/a Studies in the Global South)

-Catarina Martinez (MEM student in Environmental Management)

Dubie Toa-Kwapong (PhD student in Cultural Anthropology)
