THE CENTER FOR CULTURAL STUDIES hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty & visitors.
We are pleased to announce our Winter 2022 Series. We have missed the intimacy, energy, and sense of community provided by gathering in person. However, we realize some of you may not be coming to campus regularly, and a number of challenges remain in holding in-person events on campus. To maximize accessibility for audience members, the CCS colloquium series will have a hybrid format, meaning that you will have the option of attending in person in Humanities 210 or remotely via Zoom. Those who attend in person must adhere to the campus mask mandate for all indoor activities and must complete a symptom-check form before coming to campus. To attend remotely via Zoom, please RSVP in advance and you will receive a Zoom link on the morning of the colloquium. Speakers will appear remotely so that they do not have to wear a mask when presenting.
Please RSVP to either all colloquia here or select the individual event you would like to RSVP for here on our website. The Zoom link will be circulated at 11:30 AM on the day of the colloquium. Please be online by 12:10 PM [PST] if you are attending remotely. Sessions begin promptly at 12:15 PM and end at 1:30 PM. Sessions will not be recorded.
