The Commons sets Red Hot Research dates for fall 2019
LAWRENCE — Red Hot Research returns this fall with six events for University of Kansas researchers. Red Hot Research is a regular Friday event, built of five short presentations from across KU to open the door for new ways of understanding work through discussion across perspectives.
The first event is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, at The Commons and will focus on work related to Care & Well-being, in conjunction with the launch of a new programming theme at The Commons this year.
In keeping with the goals of this series, presenters are asked to consider how other disciplinary perspectives could contribute to their research, the likely next steps for the research and challenges that they face in conducting the research. In turn, audience members are asked to, from their own perspectives, offer insights, questions and ideas.
Save the date for Red Hot Research sessions this fall. All events begin at 4 p.m.
