ES colloquium series

Join us for our weekly Research Colloquium series, designed to bring all of environmental studies together with the larger community to share thought provoking discussions.

Each term, in September and January, we share a schedule of seminar speakers.

Every session begins with a land acknowledgment and speaker introduction by a graduate student host, followed by a 35-40 minute talk and an open Q&A session.

If you are interesting in presenting, please reach out to our Director, Deborah Curran.

Wednesdays, 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., September-April
David Turpin Building, Room B255

We look forward to seeing you there!
