Thursday Brown Bag Series

This series features current research of members and affiliates of GHP.  The intent is to educate and raise the awareness of our community and beyond, about the research activities presently being conducted by faculty, students, researchers, and special guests of the department.

Seminars are held every Thursday from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET.

Speakers’ remarks are based on their own scholarship and experience. As such, they speak for themselves, not for Harvard.

Brown Bag Seminars will be hosted online via Zoom only or in hybrid format in Building 1, Room 1208, unless otherwise noted. To attend a hybrid seminar in-person, a Harvard ID is required to access the building.
For questions, please contact Jessica Majano jmajanoguevara@hsph.harvard.edu.
