This doctoral symposium will provide the opportunity for selected doctoral students from five universities—The University of Chicago, Hong Kong Baptist University, The University of Michigan, Seoul National University, and The University of British Columbia—to present their work and engage in scholarly exchange and networking with their counterparts around the world.
Up to four doctoral students from each university will be selected based on the quality of the proposal and its fit with other submissions. The symposium will include site visits to local communities experiencing, and organizations addressing, relevant contemporary social problems.
