2024-25 Seminars
Both Research Seminar Groups will provide a structured venue for participants to pursue their research interest, with the advantage of receiving feedback and discussion from other group members. The research projects can be clinical or theoretical in nature. Quantitative and qualitative projects are welcome. Participation in the seminar can be useful if you are pursuing a writing project you wish to develop and submit for publication in the future, or as preparation for a formal presentation. There is no fee for participation in the Research Seminar Groups.
