The Forensic Brown Bag Series consists of casual meetings over the lunch hour, approximately on the third Tuesday of every month at 1:10-2:00pm. If you are a student, faculty, or staff member interested in learning more about the work of our colleagues, bring your lunches and be a part of the group. This is also the opportunity to present your current work, or work in progress, which may include a thesis, MRP, independent research, book chapters, articles, or conference papers – for a light, casual round of comments and feedback. 

If anyone wishes to workshop their research, contact murray.clayton@utoronto.ca (Re: Brown Bag Series) and together we will organize a group and workshop. Dates, times, and locations may depend on the availability of the group we put together.
