November 13, 2007 The WISER Brown Bag Series on Race, Ethnicity and Sexuality for Fall 2007 was kicked off today by Chip Turner, Political Science. He presented his paper "Awakening to Race: Ralph Ellison and Democratic Individuality." As a reminder, all are invited to attend WISER Brown Bag talks and, of course, it is OK to bring your lunch. Brown Bag talks provide faculty and graduate students with an opportunity to present work at any point in the research process, from preliminary sketches to polished work. If you are interested in presenting your work at a WISER Brown Bag talk, please contact, Matt Barreto at mbarreto AT u DOT washington DOT edu The WISER Fall Research Symposium took place on November 9, 2007 in the HUB (student union building) located on the University of Washington Campus.
