TSU Social Science Faculty Research Seminar
We invite you to join our Social Science faculty research seminar. Every month, one person will present a paper which participants will read in advance and come prepared to discuss. These papers may include a conference presentation or an article a faculty member is preparing for publication. This is an opportunity to learn about other faculty members' research projects, engage your colleagues in intellectual conversations, and also gain feedback on your own research. You are welcome to attend all presentations, or only those which interest you.
Normally we will meet at 3:30 pm on the second Monday of every month in Rm#4 of the SUB. Following is the schedule for the 2000-2001 year.
