 Luncheons and Brownbag Presentations

PRISM will host several brownbags throughout the academic year as part of our ongoing PRISM Brownbag Series. All faculty and grad students, of course, are invited to the presentations, regardless of the intensity of one’s methods interests. Information regarding the presentations is included below. If you have any questions about these events, or if you have ideas for future PRISM brownbags, please email Scott Powell (powell.413@polisci.osu.edu) or stop by his office (2049Q) to chat.
