IGIS Research Seminar Series

The IGIS Research Seminar Series is designed to facilitate discussion of research in the social sciences. The series brings distinguished faculty members from GW and other universities to present a working paper and discuss their current research with both GW faculty and GW Ph.D. students, who also serve as discussants for the series. The speakers' working papers are available on our website for attendees to read prior to each seminar. Unless otherwise noted, all seminars begin at 12 noon and take place in the Dean Maurice A. East Conference Room, Suite 501, 1957 E Street, NW. Please RSVP to igis@gwu.edu.
