Fringe Fridays
The Fringe Friday lecture series is intended to provide a comfortable and conversational arena for anthropology students and staff to present the "fringe" aspects of their research, or a personal interest related to anthropology, in a ~15-30 minute presentation and discussion.
Talks are generally held monthly on a Friday at 3:30 pm and all are welcome to attend!
That's all folks!
See you in Fall for our next Fringe
