Colloquium Series
RESI is dedicated to hosting colloquiums that feature experts across diverse disciplines from both industry and academia. These presentations offer an interdisciplinary look at race and ethnic research. Our colloquiums showcase works-in-progress, recently published books or research, and community projects. These talks serve as an opportunity for faculty, students, staff and community members to engage in conversation about a variety of issues. Each of RESI’s colloquium traditionally begins with an introduction of the presenter, followed by the guest speakers’ exposition of their work or project. Then, attendees can expect to participate in an informal exchange of ideas with the presenter.
RESI makes recordings of colloquiums available to the public after the presentation via Youtube. Recordings can also be found directly linked from the titles below.
