Brown Bag seminars are ordinarily held in the seminar room at 2232 Piedmont Avenue, usually on Wednesdays, from 12:10 to 1:00, although the discussion often continues for ten or fifteen minutes past 1:00. Please try to arrive before 12:10 so that we can start promptly at the scheduled time. Papers are not generally circulated in advance. Regular and decaffeinated coffee will be available, as well as cookies and hot water for tea. Administrative inquiries may be addressed to the Demography Office at 642-9800, or office@demog.berkeley.edu.

Pre-PAA presentations: Students presenting talks should plan on 15 minutes per talk, followed by 5 minutes of questions. Posters will be set up for viewing before and after the Brown Bags, at which times the presenters will be available for questioning. Since the April 24 Pre-PAA talks will have three speakers, as well as posters, please plan on showing up earlier than our usual 12:10 starting time to view the posters and plan on staying a bit past our usual ending time if possible.
