The School of Communication Studies is thrilled to announce the launch of a Colloquium Series – three to four lectures per semester, given by a wide array of faculty and graduate students from the School of Communication Studies, from throughout the university, and from throughout the country.
The series aims to achieve two goals. First, the Colloquium Series strives to foster intellectual and collaborative exchange among a diverse range of faculty and graduate students by cultivating thoughtful and engaging discussions about complex social phenomena. Second, the Colloquium Series seeks to help members of our community stay informed about and connected to research conducted beyond our disciplinary and institutional borders. We will do this by inviting scholars from across Βι¶ΉΣ°ΤΊ State and from across the country to participate.
The Colloquium will be on the first Friday of each month from 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. in Taylor Hall Rm. 146 and will include a presentation of research then a Q&A session with the audience.
Here is the schedule for the spring 2015 Colloquium Series:
Friday, February 6
