Preliminaries

Lectures

  1. Lectures are expected to be 25 minutes in length to allow sufficient time for discussion and fellow involvement (20 min.).
  2. The discussion openings that follow (2-3 min.) are meant to focus on one or two points to illustrate lifespan or life-course implications. Discussants will then moderate the discussion, giving fellows the opportunity to ask questions or comment first.

Dissertation Research Talks

  1. Dissertation research talks should be 20 minutes long, with further 15 minutes for discussion. 
  2. The moderators are responsible for organizing and leading the consultation input and for summarizing the main points of the suggestions advanced.
  3. Fellows presenting their research are advised to ask a co-fellow to take notes during the discussion.
