This event series brings students and faculty together to discuss innovative faculty research on the important issues of our day.

In each session, faculty deliver short presentations on cutting-edge work — often in progress — and then invite conversation, reflections, and questions from attendees. These informal gatherings present a rare opportunity for the Stanford community to engage directly with the ideas and scholarship shaping today’s issues.
