Workshops and Symposia

COMIT convenes scholars and practitioners in small, intensive gatherings oriented around specific questions. These settings — workshops, seminars, and multi-day symposia — are where the research program develops most deeply: candid exchange, shared purpose, and the quality of sustained attention that larger public events rarely allow.
