Hello all,

We were thrilled to receive such a high volume of abstracts and thank everyone for applying. Below you will find the list of clusters and presentations for Undisciplined 2011. True to the nature of our program, Undisciplined will feature presentations on a diverse range of subjects, all inspiring, all compelling. Keeping in mind that this is a research workshopping opportunity, we ask that you plan to attend as many clusters as possible so as to provide questions, feedback and support to all of our graduate student presenters.

Stay tuned – a formalized symposium itinerary with exact times will be posted in the near future.

Make sure to tell your colleagues, friends and family about Undisciplined 2011, Saturday, October 1st in the JDUC.
