APOP+SFC Spring 2021 Lecture Series

The time is finally here to announce our panelist lineup for this semester's lecture series with the Ohio State Anthropology Public Outreach Program! Scroll below to check out the lineup, as well as to register for each event.

NEW THIS SEMESTER: We will be randomly selecting individuals at each event to receive giveaways related in some way to each of our speakers. To enter, register in advance using the links below; individuals will be chosen from among those present during the event itself (that is, you must be virtually present to win, staying logged on until at least the scheduled end time of 7:15pm). Be sure to follow regularly Ohio State APOP and Slow Food Columbus on our social media channels to learn what the giveaways are. Panelists and members of either Ohio State APOP or Slow Food Columbus's executive boards are ineligible to win.

Also new this semester: If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Mark Anthony Arceño (arceno.1@osu.edu). Requests made two weeks before the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
