Spring 2012 Brown Bag Seminars
Brown Bag seminars are ordinarily held in the seminar room at 2232
Piedmont Avenue, usually on Wednesdays, from 12:10 to 1:00, although
the discussion often continues for ten or fifteen minutes past 1:00. Please
try to arrive before 12:10 so that we can start promptly at the scheduled
time. Papers are not generally circulated in advance. Regular and decaffeinated
coffee will be available, as well as cookies and hot water for tea. Administrative
inquiries may be addressed to the Demography Office at 642-9800, or monique@demog.berkeley.edu.
If you would like to inquire about presenting a seminar yourself, or have
suggestions for other potential speakers, please contact Ronald Lee at 642-4535,
or rlee@demog.berkeley.edu.
