Faculty, staff, and scholars are invited to join our Materials Salon series on September 18, 2024, 3-4:30 PM, featuring lightning talks centered on one material theme, glass, from faculty and scholars across the university. Through this series, we intend to convene a broad group of scholars with shared interdisciplinary interests in this area to gather and exchange ideas across specialties and identify new approaches for research and teaching.
