Race & Ethnicity Training Seminar

Mondays 12:00-1:15pm
Social Science 3470

Organizer: Ruth N. López Turley

The Race & Ethnicity Training Seminar is a weekly seminar consisting of graduate students and faculty who are interested in issues of race and ethnicity in the US and other countries. It provides a forum for discussing student and faculty work in progress, as well as more polished work to be used for job talks and conference presentations. Each semester, a few speakers from outside the department also share their work, providing an opportunity to network with race & ethnicity scholars.

Students planning to attend regularly should register for Soc 987 to get 1 credit for the semester. Presenters can register for up to 3 credits and should notify the organizer of any equipment needs. In addition, please refer to "Tips for Presenters."

This is a brownbag seminar, so you are welcome to bring your lunch.
