Presentations are wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, often focusing on current research, recent publications, or new exhibitions.
Unless otherwise specified, these presentations are held on Wednesdays at noon in the Texana Room of Fondren Library Center, 6404 Robert S. Hyer Lane. No registration necessary.
