Programs and Events

In addition to conferences, workshops, study groups, cultural events and film screenings, the Council hosts a weekly lunchtime Brownbag Seminar Series featuring invited speakers from a variety of disciplines and institutions chosen for their ability to contribute to discussions of ongoing research by Yale students and faculty, and to reach interested audiences throughout the University. Nearly all of the Council's events are free and open to the public.

The Council sponsors specialized workshops and presentations organized by subsidiary consortiums of students and faculty such as the ongoing Yale Indonesia Forum and the Yale Vietnamese Studies Group.
