Brown Bags
Discussion series featuring GWCSG-sponsored researchers
Each year, the GW Center for the Study of Globalization (GWCSG) hosts the Globalization Brown Bag discussion series. These informal talks are convened once a month and are designed to raise campus awareness on the many facets of the globalization debate. The Brown Bags are led by GW faculty who have received grants from the GWCSG to conduct cutting-edge globalization research. These events are open to all.
Last semester's Brown Bags were structured as teach-ins, providing a forum for everyone in the GW campus community, especially students, to raise questions, share their views, and learn more about the major issues and impacts of globalization.
