The spring 2014 CPPA Faculty Colloquium Series offers an exciting lineup of innovative researchers and practitioners who will speak on a range of topics with substantial policy implications. This semester’s speakers will talk about the growing and unlikely relationship between the U.S. and Brazil; policies in the Academy that affect mothers and motherhood; the intersection of wicked problems and social entrepreneurship; and federal oversight of workplace discrimination.

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 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. They are open to the public and brown bag lunches are welcome.
