The LSJ-SIG’s graduate student committee hosted a Scholar/Graduate-student informal “coffee talk session” prior to the SIG’s Business meeting at the AERA Annual Meeting in San Francisco. The purpose of this session was to provide an opportunity for graduate students to meet and get to know LSJ scholars in our field. This “coffee talk session” is a continuation of the Brown Bag lunch series that the graduate student committee initiated in 2011 at the UCEA annual meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. These are informal meetings intended to allow for exchange of thoughts and ideas along with stimulating discussion
