Please note that I no longer host the UH Student Brown Bag since 2023 fall. Please refer to the new website of the UH Student Brown Bag.
The University of Houston Student Brown Bag is a student-hosting workshop where economic doctoral students share their research ideas and progress. The workshop is generally in-person but can be hybrid for the presenter's convenience.
