Speaker Series
The BEC Speaker Series hosts presentations by junior and senior scholars from across the social and life sciences whose work sheds light on human evolution. Topics are highly variable, challenging listeners to bridge diverse fields, and reflecting the consilience across disciplines that is the hallmark of BEC. Presentations are aimed at a professional audience of faculty and graduate students but interested undergraduate students and members of the public are quite welcome to attend.
Streaming videos are available for many of our past talks, beginning in the Fall of 2008. Click here to view past presentations.
