Intensive tracks

Each workshop participant will be assigned to one intensive track that will meet three times. Each track will have 10-20 members and a facilitator. Meeting in small groups three days in a row will allow participants to get to know each other better, to shape the agenda for the discussion themselves, and to discuss a topic of interest in depth. Registrants will rank order the three options and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We anticipate that most registrants will be assigned to their first or second choice.

Breakout sessions

Each workshop participant will also be assigned to two breakout sessions, one on Wednesday and a different one on Thursday. The members of a breakout session will not necessarily be members of a given intensive track. Registrants will rank-order the options and be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Networking Opportunities

Workshops like TRE offer formal and informal opportunities to learn, both from faculty and from each other. We organize an optional off-campus dinner on Wednesday. The cost is not included in the workshop fee, but we encourage people to attend. On Thursday evening we host an optional open house at the Poynter Center, and encourage participants to visit local restaurants afterward.

Fees

The fee for the Teaching Research Ethics Workshop is $700. A $100 deposit is required with registration; the balance of the fee must be paid by April 2, 2012.

A full refund less a service charge will be made if written notice of cancellation is received by April 2, 2012; a 50% refund will be made if written cancellation is received between April 3 and April 16; after April 16 we cannot offer a refund. There is a $40 refund fee which will be subracted from the amount returned to you.

The workshop fee covers materials, dinner on Tuesday, a light breakfast on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. Participants must make their own travel and lodging arrangements.
