Brownbag Archive
Introduction to the Archive
The SPA/MBB brownbag archive is a list of all the presentations that have been delivered since the inception of the brownbag series in Spring 2010. Click this here to return to the current SPA/MBB brownbag page. To update the archive or correct an error, please e-mail Dr. Charlotte Tate at ctate2@sfsu.edu.
Historical Format Information
The SPA/MBB brownbag has been held on Wednesdays from 11:00-11:55am since 2010. The long time home of the Series was Burk Hall room 228 from Spring 2010 through Fall 2019. (That room was annexed by another academic unit, displacing the brownbag series.) In Spring 2020, the series moved to the Science Building room 395. However, the SARS-COV-2 pandemic (aka COVID-19) resulted in the campus closing and all instruction being remote for the latter half of Spring 2020 until Fall 2021. Consequently, the series moved to a remote webconferencing platform called Zoom. Between Spring 2022 through Spring 2023, the series met in a hybrid format of in-person attendance (in the Ethnic Studies and Psychology building and via the Zoom webconferencing platform simultaneously.) Location changes notwitstanding, throughout its history, each meeting has been divided into presentation and discussion periods. Since 2011, there is one speaker per meeting and that speaker is able to choose the length of the presentation (up to 30 minutes), with the remainder being the discussion period.
