Brown Bag Series
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies schedules brown bag lectures and performances on Fridays at 12:00 p.m. during the Fall and Spring semesters. Speakers are invited to present original research, sections of dissertations, and other works in progress.
In particular, it is a wonderful opportunity for doctoral students to share new ideas and receive valuable feedback regarding their work. Brown Bag Lectures are usually held in the lushly appointed Tokioka Room at Moore Hall (Room 319) or in the Korean Studies Center Auditorium.
