Who: Junior Scholars
(preference given to Assistant Professors/post-docs; senior PhD students and recently tenured faculty also welcome to register)
What: A thirty minute conversation with a senior scholar of your choosing!
When: Weeks of June 8, 15, and 22 (2020)
Where: Online
STRonger Together Coffee Wish Conversations offer the opportunity for junior scholars to have a one-on-one conversation with a senior scholar. With most conferences and external speaker visits being cancelled, junior scholars no longer have the opportunity to interact with senior scholars to share their research projects and ideas and get early feedback on their emerging research agendas and identities. Our goal is to provide “coffee wishes” for junior scholars! Have you always wanted to talk with a senior scholar whose work you have read and build upon? Well – here’s an opportunity for a candid conversation! You may wish to speak about research, ask for general advice about journals/publication or building a research identity, or something else entirely; we just want to provide you the opportunity to get to know one another.
How it will work: We have a list of senior faculty who have generously committed thirty minutes in each of the last three weeks of June for Coffee Wish Conversations. Faculty include:
- Bruno Cassiman (IESE & KU Leuven)
- Xavier Castañer (U of Lausanne)

Interested Junior Scholars may sign up for a time slot in the month of June at: https://tinyurl.com/STRCoffeeWJun. Note that there will be three rounds of sign-ups; you should sign up by 5 pm EDT on the Friday of the prior week (so deadlines are June 5, 12, and 19 respectively) to the week of your chosen time slots. There may be multiple people interested in a time slot in which case we will give priority to folks who have not yet met with a senior faculty or default to random draw. Over the weekend we will let you know if you were assigned the time slot that you requested. If matched, it is the junior scholar’s responsibility to coordinate with the senior scholar with regards to video conferencing preferences (e.g., Skype, Zoom). If you have any questions please email akaul@umn.edu.
