The Current Research on Issues and Topics In Comparative Scholarship (CRITICS) series is co-sponsored by the Department of Government and the Mortara Center for International Studies. Following a brief introduction, speakers will present for 30-40 minutes, and the remainder of the time will be Q&A. Lunch catering will be provided.
