Do you wonder what your professors work on outside of the classroom? Here’s your chance to find out! Professors speak to students in an informal setting about their personal research – what interests them, what they’ve learned, how they do it. We will start off the series this year with Professor William Forbath, one of the nation’s leading legal and constitutional scholars. Learn about his research on how Jewish lawyers a century ago used constitutional law to define what it meant to be both an American and a Jew. Join us on Wednesday, October 26 at 3:30 pm in the Sheffield Room. Light refreshments will be served. We will be recording the session for those who can’t make it – a link will be posted on the Library’s blog.
