Interseminars Event Series
Through the Mellon-funded Interseminars Initiative, faculty and graduate students collaborate in the design of cross-departmental and cross-college courses, with funding for key aspects of that work: co-curricular programming, shared research experiences, and fellowship support for students.
The third Interseminars cohort—“Collisions Across Colorlines”—is proud to present a speaker series this academic year. Details follow below.
