Planning for the Future: Revisiting the GRN
This panel serves as a community planning project for the future of the
GRN. Panel members present lessons learned from the first two forums,
questions that need to be addressed, and suggestions for possible
future directions for the GRN.

Graduate Students, Adjuncts, Mentors, and the GRN
Although graduate students and part-time faculty may not have an
equal voice in departmental meetings, the Graduate Research Network
Forum can provide the contacts, resources, time, and place where practitioners
can develop a clear and compelling voice in their publications.

years.

Publish or Perish: The GRN and Professionalization
In the GRN we discover that our problems and our struggles are shared
by our graduate and professional peers, we received feedback and
reactions to our research, validated our attempts to “make it fit.” But
how can we foster the relationships and connections made

for an individual’s dissertation How freely should ideas be exchanged
in forums like the Graduate Research Network How does one go about
