Events & Seminars
C-StARR regularly sponsors seminars that provide an opportunity for members to discuss their research, develop collaborative projects, and learn each other’s perspectives. The Center also hosts visiting lectures to stimulate novel ideas and an annual day-long retreat at which members share findings, build community, and plan activities. In addition, C-StARR affiliates regularly present scholarship associated with the Center in invited talks at universities in the Triangle and beyond, and at national research conferences.
