Next Red Hot Research session set for Sept. 20

LAWRENCE — As a part of continued efforts to bring together scholars from all disciplines, and in response to the call set forth by Bold Aspirations, The Commons continues the the 2013-1014 Research Sharing Sessions, a series designed specifically for research exchange. The format of these sessions is inspired by Pecha Kucha, which features short, slide-based talks that introduce audiences to an idea.

The next Red Hot Research session will be 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, in The Commons in Spooner Hall.

The goals of these sessions:

• To introduce KU researchers to the work of their colleagues
• To address questions within current research using the perspectives of many disciplines
• To develop collaborative research teams as a result of overlapping interest and expertise.

All KU researchers are welcome.
