The new CREATE Community Talks series will officially be ready to take off in January 2026! A huge thank you to everyone who joined the organizational meetings—your ideas, questions, and thoughtful suggestions were essential in shaping what this series will become.
CREATE Community Talks is about creating opportunities to engage, spark new collaborations, and strengthen our research community, especially for junior researchers. Senior faculty and experienced researchers are invited to participate, exchange ideas, and connect with colleagues—while helping junior scholars build confidence and experience in leading scholarly conversations.
We were fortunate to feature Emily Bolger and Mao-Jen Tseng in our two meetings this fall, where they generously shared their work. Their slide decks are attached below.
And with conference season just around the corner, mark your calendars! We’ve reserved Monday, April 6, 2026, for a special Presentation Practice Day—a chance to do a low-stakes, friendly dry run of your conference talk. CREATE will provide the space and refreshments.
Detailed information about dates, times, how to sign up to present, etc...will be shared soon.
