About Scaled-Up Seminar
Scaled-Up Seminar gathers economics researchers within driving distance of Western Carolina University to economize on scheduling demands and accomplish more than a series of individual research seminars could. The goal is to leverage the concentration of scholars in the region to 1) provide mutual feedback on current research projects; 2) gain exposure to each other’s research agendas, thus sparking collaboration on future research projects; and 3) facilitate informal discussion leading to collaboration on research, teaching, and program building.
