Barwick Colloquia

Every year the graduate students and faculty invite visit a number of speakers to the department to share some of their most recent work. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to meet scholars within and beyond our specific sub-fields. If you're interested in attending any of this year's talks, please join us in the Davison Room in the Music Library on the dates given at 3:15pm (unless otherwise noted).
