As a member of a reading group, you will be expected to summarize 1 book / 1-2 articles per week from the reading lists. Summaries will then be distributed to the group. Reading groups are primarily targeted to Ph.D. students but Masters students are also welcome to participate. These groups require a significant time commitment from the student.
Active Groups: IR Comprehensive Exam Reading List Group • 5 members
