CMRS LECTURE SERIES 2009-2010

Mementos, Keepsakes, and Tokens, our lecture series for 2009-2010, is addressed to those who are interested in crossing traditional boundaries, not only the boundaries that mark off linguistic territories, but those that separate disciplines, media, cultures, and time periods as well. The hallmark of our series is variety, and we hope that everyone will find something to delight and instruct them among the multiplicity of topics addressed by our distinguished speakers this year.

Each lecture will begin at 2:30 pm on Friday in the Science and Engineering Library Room 090, unless otherwise noted.  Conversation with the speaker for both Faculty and Graduate Students will be held immediately afterward in the same room.  Refreshments will be provided.

You may download a PDF flyer for each lecture by clicking on the speaker's name as they are made available. To view the Poster in pdf format, click here.
