ICGC Brown Bag Series
Every semester during the academic year ICGC offers a series of informal noon-time lecture-discussions called “Brown Bags” because guests are invited to bring their lunches and eat during the sessions. Most of the presenters are ICGC Scholars, graduate students who report on some aspect of the research they are carrying out or who want to have a discussion about some area of concern within the developing world. Faculty whose research and teaching are of interest to the Scholars also make presentations in the series. The fall 09 ICGC Brown Bags occur on Fridays from noon to 1:00(unless otherwise noted) in room 531 Heller Hall, ICGC commons area.
