Tuesday Talks

     
The Tuesday Talk is an ongoing weekly series where various speakers are invited to discuss various topics relating to politics, public policy, and economics.  Occasionally talks are given on subjects relevant to students such as career management and research.  Although SPE students are encouraged to attend, the talks are open to all students regardless of academic department or discipline.  A complimentary lunch is always provided. Please note that although Tuesday Talks are, for all intents and purposes, given on a Tuesday, there are occasions when they may fall on other days of the week.  An email announcing the lunch talk will always be sent prior.

Below is a list of upcoming as well as past Tuesday Talks.
