Please see the profile pages for faculty, students, and staff for more information on Center members' scholarly interests and activities.

The Center sponsors two special forums for scholarly inquiry and discussion: the colloquium series and the research-in-progress brownbag series.

Each academic year the Center invites several well-known scholars to campus to speak as part of the colloquium series. The colloquia run for one and one half hours, with a forty-five minute talk followed by a question and answer session. Typically, invited faculty also have lunch on Thursday with graduate students and/or faculty, a dinner with faculty members on Thursday night, and a breakfast with graduate students on Friday morning.

The research-in-progress brownbag series features presentations by Center core or affiliated faculty on their current research. These informal talks are held for one hour and offer opportunities for discussion among faculty and graduate students.

Please see the Center calendar for upcoming colloquium and research-in-progress series dates.
