WHAT YOU GET FROM A GTI SEMINAR

• How to deal with confusion
• How to transcend your departmental restrictions, jargon and preconceptions
• Networking/association building
• The difference between QDA (which calls itself GT) and Classic GT
• The chance to see that others have been where you are, and have gotten through, and gotten their degree
• Embodiment: BGG is alive, strong, and still writing about and teaching GT
• Inspiration
• Empowerment
• Confidence
• "Credentialization": you can become the GT "expert" at your university
• To be in a room of supportive, noncompetitive colleagues, where you can be free to ask questions, and you don't have to be constantly proving what you know
• A few laughs
• How to get away from description and into conceptualization
