Brown Bag Colloquia: During each of these
lunchtime events, an advanced Graduate Feminist Emphasis
student discusses his or her work in progress. The
initial 45-minute presentation is followed by a 15-30
minute question and discussion period. The Brown Bag series
contributes to the professional training of our students,
providing presenters with feedback for revising dissertation
chapters or articles and preparing for entry into the academic
job market.
Faculty Research Colloquia: Individual members of the Core and Affiliated Faculty present on their current research interests and projects. The 45-minute presentation is followed by a 30 minute question and discussion period. In addition to providing a forum for faculty to discuss and refine works-in-progress with an engaged audience, the Faculty Research Colloquia allows students in the Graduate Feminist Emphasis to learn about diverse objects and methods of study in specific disciplines and interdisciplinary fields.
Invited Speakers: Each year we host presentations
by prominent thinkers from around the world who are making
crucial contributions to the field of Feminist Transnational
Studies. Our guests have included distinguished as well as
younger scholars, and attorneys, leaders of non-governmental
organizations, social justice activists, writers, scientists,
and artists. The presentations provide an opportunity for
audiences to learn about emerging scholarship and ongoing
activities of significance to our field. Please click on
our list of Past Events for a listing of some of our
recent guests.
