The Department of Data Science is pleased to offer a faculty seminar series, where faculty doing work in data science will share their research in a feminist and anti-racist space and build connections across campus. Faculty working with data science, graduate students, and postdocs are invited to attend.

Seminars will typically be held in Pacific 204 from 12-1 during the regular academic year, dates are listed below. Lunch will be served.

Questions about the series can be addressed to Rori Rohlfs (rori@uoregon.edu).
