Overview of the WIP Workshop

The Works-In-Progress Workshop aims to cultivate a collaborative space for RESI Graduate Student Affiliates. During this 1-day in-person workshop, selected students present their works in progress and receive constructive feedback from a variety of sources (affiliated faculty, graduate students, and the greater Texas A&M community).

Projects submitted may cover a wide range of research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods, policy analysis and evaluation, and transition of research into practice. Manuscripts must include race and/or ethnicity as a central focus. Manuscripts should not be thesis/dissertation proposals. The intent of this Workshop is to advance a stand-alone essay/chapter toward publication in a journal or edited collection (book). Students will be notified if their in-progress manuscript is accepted into the workshop approximately two weeks after the application deadline.

Dates to Keep in Mind

• The deadline to submit applications for consideration is September 15 by 5pm.

• Students notified of submission status by October 1.

• Full work-in-progress manuscript to be submitted by October 9 by noon.

• Workshop is scheduled for November 13.

Requirements to Apply

Be a RESI Graduate Student Affiliate. If you are not already one, you must submit your affiliate application first.

Be registered and in good standing in a graduate degree program at A&M as a masters or doctoral student, with preference given to the latter.

Participant Expectations

Participants must be in attendance the entire length of the workshop, during which they will present their WIP manuscript (no longer than 15 minutes). Students are expected to serve as respondents for another manuscript and will deliver constructive oral feedback during the workshop (10 minutes).
