ACTOR’s Training and Mentoring Committee will host a workshop on Designing and Delivering Effective Research Presentations. Aimed at graduate students and early-career scholars, this event features as guest speakers ACTOR Partners Lindsey Reymore (Arizona State University) and Eliot Britton (University of Toronto) as well as Mithura Sanmugalingam (McGill University Teaching and Learning Services).

The TGN Meet & Greet will be held virtually (Zoom Access) on Friday, November 4 from 1:00-3:00pm (EST). In order to get to know each other and find potential collaborators, please come prepared to briefly talk about your timbral and orchestrational interests. If you already have research ideas and are looking for collaborators, great! If this is your first time doing collaborative research and are looking to learn more, that’s great too!

The event aims to help new student members get acquainted with ACTOR and will include a brief presentation about the project, funding opportunities available, and ongoing research projects. We believe this is a good chance for you to connect, collaborate, and take full advantage of this great community of artists, humanists, and scientists. We also have some great updates about the Student Exchange Funding.
