– post-grad early career researchers
– independent scholars

– grad students at any stage
– post-grad early career researchers
– adjunct faculty
– independent scholars
"colloquium" talk
Hour-long lecture presentation, followed by an hour of Q&A. Talk format intended for those looking for more experience with a longer-form/job talk presentation, especially:
– late-stage grad students
– post-grad early career researchers
