Linguistic Anthropology Seminar: Fall 2005

The Linguistic Anthropology Seminar provides an informal, interdisciplinary venue for presentations of work-in-progress by faculty, students, and visiting scholars. Seminars are held on a more-or-less biweekly basis, Fridays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm (unless otherwise noted). We meet in the Brooks Hall Library, on the third floor of Brooks Hall.

Want to volunteer a talk or discussion topic? Contact Daniel Lefkowitz.
