The OSU Anthropology Lecture Series features guest speakers from the OSU community, as well as visitors from academic institutions, government agencies, non-government organizations and businesses in Oregon and beyond. Each quarter, a new roster of speakers are invited to give 30-45 minute presentations on cutting-edge research, current events and other projects that resonate with the OSU anthropology community. These “tan sack/brown bag” lunchtime lectures are designed for the OSU community to engage with diverse ongoing research, applied projects and contemporary anthropological dialogue, but are also meant as a space for us to converse with each other.

Fridays, 12-12:50 p.m. in Strand 211 and via Zoom

This series is sponsored by the anthropology program at the School of Language, Culture & Society.
