Doctoral Seminar Speaker Schedule

Seminars that students are required to attend (and submit write-ups for) will be posted here as they are scheduled. Note we will also be sending out announcements on Blackboard when a seminar has been scheduled so that you have sufficient warning. We also strongly encourage you to ask questions and discuss with the speakers.
