About the Junck Colloquium

For nearly two decades, the Mary Junck Research Colloquium series has enhanced scholarly community and engagement at UNC Hussman by bringing top scholars to the school to discuss their recent and ongoing research with Carolina graduate students, faculty and other scholars.

The series was established in 2007 to nurture an intellectually vibrant climate with both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary shades, by scheduling scholarly presentations on diverse topics. Each academic year, UNC Hussman invites influential scholars and researchers from across the United States to deliver a Junck talk about their latest work.
