Colloquium Series
The Colloquium Series is an interdisciplinary working group of faculty throughout 成人头条 that meet to present and discuss their current research projects. The goal of the series is to connect faculty and students across disciplines to highlight research, engage in research dialogue, and to promote interdisciplinary research and collaborations. At each colloquium, an individual presents a current research project, which is then followed by a discussion among audience members. The colloquium series is open to the 成人头条 community and public in a brown-bag setting (bring your lunch). Unless otherwise noted, colloquia occur every Wednesday from Noon-1:00 in the Health Sciences Building, Room 219.
If you are interested in presenting a paper at a colloquium, please contact Dr. Boyer (ejboyer@utep.edu), Dr. Ivanova in Psychology (imivanova@utep.edu), or Dr. Reid in Political Science (raredi@utep.edu).
