Tea Time

Tim Shenk and Charlie Lesch

We are delighted to announce the return of a time-honored IPH tradition: Tea-Time! 

Back in this century's first decade, a group of IPH students started wondering what advice and insight professors might be able to share about quite how they became professors in the first place. What would they say to their younger selves with the advantage of hindsight? What observations, suggestions, and warnings might they have for students considering graduate school and a career in academia? And so Tea-Time was born...

We are very fortunate to have two new Mellon Post-Docs in the department, Tim Shenk and Charlie Lesch. Tim and Charlie have agreed to talk about their academic careers over refreshing cups of tea and heaping plates of cookies. As Tim and Charlie will be teaching the Theory and Methods seminar in the spring, we'd like to encourage IPH Juniors in particular to come along and meet them. Of course, all IPH and T&T students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Tea will be served at 4:30 on Wednesday October 26th in the Umrath Conference Room (224). Please RSVP to Amy Lehman.
