Postgraduate Work-In-Progress Seminar A weekly seminar for Philosophy postgraduates to present their in-progress work, followed by a well-spirited trip to the pub for food and drinks. Useful Info The WIP provides a risk-free and supportive space for postgraduates to present their work and receive feedback from other graduates and faculty. When: Every Thursday (5pm to 6:15pm) Where: Room S1.50 (Social Sciences Building, First Floor) What: 30-minute presentation, followed by Q&A. Attendance optional but highly recommended. All postgraduates are welcome to present or attend -- whether MA, MPhil, PhD, Visitors, etc. 馃搮 Format Presentation: 30 minutes Open Discussion / Q&A: 30 minutes Material: Anything, really -- assessed essay (for MAs), a supervision essay (for MPhils), or a thesis section (for PhDs), ... Style: Flexible -- slides, handouts, or simply talking. Audience: No prior reading or background knowledge expected. Visiting PhDs ~~should~~ can present. 馃 Should I present? ("I have nothing to present; I hate public speaking; etc.") Are you a postgraduate? Then yes, you should present. In other words, all graduates are encouraged to present at least once. The WIP is a unique opportunity for graduates to develop their public speaking / writing skills, take risks, test out theses, and get constructive feedback from peers.* Presentations need not (in fact, should not) be watertight or polished pieces at all. You are encouraged to present work at all stages of the writing process -- first drafts, substantial sets of notes, etc. Simply signing up for a date is a great way to give yourself a deadline to work towards.

Any kind of in-progress work (within reason). E.g. Drafts of assessed essays, thesis sections, writing samples, conference papers, project outline, ... Recommended Length Aim for 3,000 to 4,000 words. Anything closer to the 5,000-word mark will be hard to fit in the 30-minute presentation time. Presentation Structure Presenters have complete liberty with regards to how to structure their presentation: handout, slideshow, etc. Worth noting a common pitfall: spending too much time on background/exposition and not having enough time to present your main thesis and argument. A good rule of thumb: aim for 10 minutes of exposition, and 20 minutes for whatever parts you actually want feedback on. Submission Deadline Presenters should email title and abstract to the organisers by the Sunday before their presentation. E.g. If presenting Thurs Week 5, email us by then end of Sunday Week 4.
