Practice Presentations

Gain feedback on presentations—conference papers, dissertation defenses, job talks, and more.

The Fellowships & Writing Center provides feedback on presentations—conference papers, dissertation defenses, job talks, and more. We evaluate your content (structure, argumentation, etc.), style (clarity, concision, smooth transitions, etc.), and use of visuals. During the academic year, students may book a slot for practice presentations on Fridays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.

During the summer, please email us at gsas-fwc@fas.harvard.edu to schedule an appointment. In your email, please include your department, the type of talk you are giving, a few times that will work for you, whether you prefer to give the talk in person or over Zoom, and any other information that you think will be helpful for us to know.
