Program Description:

In this talk, Eilene will share some of the ways we inadvertently create brick walls for ourselves. She will give examples from her research and demonstrate how to question our assumptions and dig deeper into the sources we already have. Re-examining the research we’ve already done can lead us to new research questions and directions.
