Join the European Union Center (EUC) and Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (CSAMES) for a book talk with Behrooz Ghamari on his recent publication, "The Long War on Iran: New Events, Old Questions."

Science on Tap is a monthly seminar series that brings scientists to the public to talk about their research in an informal setting.

Graduate Student Homotopy Theory Seminar

Lectures and discussions on current work in research and development in nuclear engineering and related fields by staff, advanced students, and visiting speakers.

Journalist Helmuth (Slate, Scientific American, Washington Post) will argue that as universities, public health bodies, science agencies, and publishers face growing political attacks, scholars must build public support for academic freedom, long-term research, honest history, and life-saving health policy by engaging journalists and mass media directly.

Join us for dinner and a lecture given by Dr. Jerome Galea.This lecture explores the rapidly evolving field of Global Mental Health over the past decade. It examines the reasons behind limited access to mental health services worldwide in the context of the increasing global burden of mental illness leading to the "mental health treatment gap."

Oraya Zinder, PhD Candidate Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Illinois

Merle Bowen, CAS Associate 2024-25 (African American Studies), presents her recent work that sheds light on the hitherto untold stories of Black rural life in Atlantic Canada, analyzing the diverse experiences of people of African descent and by situating them as speakers and agents of their own lives.
