Academic Open Mic Night

September 10, 2025

Academic Open Mic

Do you have an idea, insight, or research project you’re excited about? 🎤
Share it at Academic Open Mic Night—a relaxed evening of short, thought-provoking talks, conversation, and community.

We’re inviting anyone to present—whether you want to break down a fascinating concept in your discipline, highlight an emerging idea, or showcase your own research. 

The catch? Keep it informal, engaging, and accessible so everyone can walk away inspired (and maybe even curious to learn more).
