The Center for Asian Studies Re-Inaugurates the Luncheon Series

We are pleased to announce that we are re-launching our Luncheon Series in lieu of the Brown Bag events. Unlike at Brown Bag events, to which participants were encouraged to bring their lunches, at the Luncheon Series events the Center for Asian Studies will provide lunch to participants. Additionally, we are moving the location of these events so that the Luncheon Series will take place in the conference room at the Center for Asian Studies building. We are located at 1424 Broadway, and are two buildings down from the Starbucks at University and Broadway (see map below)

We have an exciting lineup for our Luncheon Series. From the culture of books in Tibet to emergency management in China to temple art in Bhutan, our Luncheon Series topics cover a wide variety of regions and themes.
