The Distinguished Faculty Lecture is given by invitation once each autumn by a senior scholar, usually a member of the Department. This series aims to introduce topics of broad interest and appeal related to Asian languages and literature to students and faculty from across the university, alumni and other friends of the department, and the general public.
The lecture is free and open to the public. It will be followed by a reception.
