The fall 2013 CPPA Faculty Colloquium Series offers an exciting lineup of accomplished researchers who will speak on a diversity of topics that have significant policy implications. This semester’s speakers will talk about gender equality and women’s rights around the globe; the debate over government austerity practices; education diversity policies; and health, sexuality and rights as experienced by Latina youth.
The talks are informal and often are about works-in-progress, with presenters providing a significant amount of time for audience discussion and feedback. All talks will be in Thompson 620, from noon to 1 p.m. They are open to the public and brown bag lunches are welcome.
