Fall 2026 Wednesday Seminar Series
The Seminar Series, now in its fifth decade, invites scholars from around the world to share their work in a formal lecture, which is followed by a rigorous question and answer session.
The Fall 2026 seminars will be hosted by Dr. Natalya Naumenko and Dr. Jonathan Schulz, and coordinated by Lisa Hill-Corley and Kashiff A. Thompson. All papers made available by seminar speakers will be posted on this site for download.
Seminars will be held from 12 - 1:15pm in Carow Hall, which is on George Mason University's Fairfax campus. A light lunch for seminar participants will be available at 11:30 am.
For more information or to join our mailing list for seminar announcements, please contact the Center at kthomp7@gmu.edu.
