The Identity Research Focus Group explores the diverse dimensions of identity, how it is studied and its implications. The group brings together scholars and graduate students from a wide array of disciplines in order to share their research, to discuss how they understand and conduct research on identity, and bring outstanding scholars studying identity to speak and share their ideas and research.
Our first organizational meeting will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2009 in the Lane Rm, 3rd fl. Ellison Hall at 4:00pm.
Current Schedule of Lectures
Please note that lectures will be held in either the Lane Rm, 3rd fl, Ellison Hall or the McCune Conference Rm, HSSB. Lectures are normally held on Thursdays, 4:00-5:30pm with the exception of the Brubaker lecture.
