Events

The Physics Department sponsors a number of events throughout the year featuring speakers of diverse backgrounds and experiences, and experts in advancing equity and inclusion in physics and more broadly STEM. 

In addition to the seminars and roundtables listed below, we recently instituted regular reading groups and graduate student meetings to discuss specific topics and actions that we can take as a department.
