Brown Bag Events


Brown Bag Series consists in a series of events sponsored by HIA that occur at noon.  This is an informal, yet academic lecture on topics from diverse disciplines related to the Hemisphere.  You can bring your lunch in a brown bag and/or enjoy some light refreshments.

Currently, Brown Bag Events consist of:

In-House Talent Series which invites UCD faculty and students to present on diverse topics.  This series allows our UCD academic community to hear and learn from many faculty and students who study the Hemisphere from different angles.

Brown Bag Series which hosts guest scholars from different campuses and countries.  These events encourage international scholars from different disciplines and different parts of the world to share their research and studies with UC Davis faculty, students and community.
