Purpose
The purpose of this SIG is to provide graduate students with a forum to meet students from other universities, to discuss and present their research interests and teaching experiences, to form mentoring relationships with CUFA members, and to ease the transition from doctoral student to beginning professor. As part of this effort, we are attempting to identify graduate students in social studies education to develop a network through which we can share resources.
