Friday Afternoon Workshop

Friday Afternoon Workshop, our Reading group and Research Colloquium

The Department of Economics conducts an occasional research and reading workshop. Attendees are asked to read the listed selections ahead of time.  The Workshop runs Fridays from 3:30-5:00 p.m. Note the location in the schedule below, as the location varies.  Most meetings are followed by a Barstool Economists meeting at a local eatery.  Attendance is open to the public for seminar presentations and reading group meetings.  However Open Labs and certain other meetings (as indicated) are open to SJSU students and faculty only.  Please email Matt Holian or Colleen Haight if you have any questions about our Workshop, or are interested in presenting your research.
