American Politics Brown Bag

The American Politics Brown Bag colloquium series is organized on a regular basis during the fall and spring semesters. The purpose of the brown bag series is to increase awareness of faculty and graduate student research agendas, provide in-house feedback on research projects, and inspire new collaborations. On occasion, we also invite a scholar from the surrounding New York-Washington corridor to make a presentation.
