Our LENA RESEARCH SEMINAR SERIES is a great opportunity to meet guest researchers and to discuss works-in-progress by LENA group members and collaborators, colleagues, and graduate students in an engaging and supportive environment. These research-based lectures and discussions explore North American Ethnic Literatures in a global and cross-disciplinary context and are open to all members of the university community.
