The goals of the Queen's School of Environmental Studies (SES) colloquium series are to: (a) encourage interdisciplinary knowledge exchange on topics and issues important within environmental studies (b) to encourage collaborations and foster a sense of community among SES faculty, students, and staff. All are welcome to attend.
The Environmental Studies Colloquium Series events are held on Thursdays at 2:30 PM in Kinesiology Room 106. All faculty, staff, and students are strongly encouraged to attend. The format of seminars is flexible (e.g., research talk, panel or roundtable discussion, PechaKucha, skills-building workshops, career or alumni sessions). Creative and engaging seminars are especially welcome!
