Gatty Lecture Series
The Ronald and Janette Gatty Lecture Series (formerly known as the Brown Bags) is a weekly lecture series featuring advanced SEAP graduate students as well as academics, diplomats, researchers, and others who have expertise in Southeast Asia. A history of the series and its origins is available in the Fall 2021 SEAP bulletin.
All talks will be held at the Kahin Center (640 Stewart Avenue) at 12:20pm, unless otherwise noted. In accordance with SEAP tradition, lunch will be served. At this time all Gatty Lectures are taking place in-person only, with no hybrid or virtual option.
If you miss a talk, or would like to hear more from one of our speakers, many can also be found on the Gatty Lecture Rewind Podcast after their lecture. Recordings for some of our previous virtual and hybrid Gatty lectures are available on the Global Cornell YouTube channel.
