ESI Brown Bag Workshops

Working on exciting research and looking for an audience? Stuck on a problem and in need of input? Look no further. The Economic Science Institute hosts a weekly brown bag luncheon and paper workshop for faculty and students in the Argyros School of Business and Economics and the Schmid College of Science in Wilkinson Hall Room 116. Present your current research in an informal environment to get feedback on your work.

Each workshop will begin at 11:30 and last 1 hour. Participants are invited to bring a brown bag lunch to eat as they ask questions and offer suggestions to our presenters.

If you would like to present your work, send an email to Erik Kimbrough with dates on which you'd be willing to speak and a brief summary of your research. We ask that presenters submit projects with (at minimum) preliminary results. More complete papers are always welcome. Obviously, we don't expect to fill the list all at once, so each week in our reminder email we will send out a list of available dates and accept new submissions. We're looking forward to hearing about your work!
