Everyone is welcome.

Please also mark your calendars for the second talk of the fall semester, when Alexandra Allen, Assistant Professor of Art Education, will present “Disability Identity Development in the Classroom: Understanding the Role of Educators in Environmental Accessibility” at 3:00 p.m. Friday, November 6, in Ketchum Hall 320.

Finally, stay tuned for more information about our upcoming talks this spring, which will include presentations by Eyad Naseralla, assistant professor of psychology, and Glennis Rayermann, assistant professor of art conservation.

The “Conversations” series was started 19 years ago by Ann Colley, SUNY Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, to “celebrate and draw attention to the research being done in various departments at Buffalo State University.” Over this time, colleagues from Anthropology, Art Conservation, Art History, Biology, Chemistry, English, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Secondary Education, among others, have shared their work with the Buffalo State and Buffalo communities.
