Spring 2021-2022 Research Colloquium

Call for Presentations

Apply by November 30

Providing a venue for presenting international- and global-related research, the Center for International Studies invites faculty members and advanced students to present their scholarly work as part of its Spring 2022 Research Colloquium, a series of one-hour academic talks for a broad and interdisciplinary audience.

Presentations should focus on recent publications or current research and be about 30 minutes in duration, leaving time for Q&A. Use of PowerPoint is optional. Those working on collaborative and interdisciplinary projects are strongly encouraged to participate, but any international- and global-related research presentation is very welcome.

Please contact international.studies@ohio.edu with a proposed subject, title, and very brief description by November 30, 2021.
