Seminars

The EvoS seminar series brings approximately ten distinguished speakers to campus every semester to share their work on all aspects of humanity and the natural world from an evolutionary perspective. The seminars are open to the entire campus community and the general public, in addition to members of the EvoS program and co-hosting departments.

Each seminar is followed by a dinner and continuing discussion with the speaker in one of the large Union halls, which is attended by EvoS participants, their guests, and members of the co-hosting department. The dinner/discussion is as lively and stimulating as the seminar itself.

A 2-credit course titled “Current Topics in Evolutionary Studies” (BIOL 480S/680S) is built around the seminar series and offered every semester. Students in the course read articles and write a commentary in addition to attending the seminar and dinner/discussion. This course is restricted to EvoS participants and is frequently rated as one of their best intellectual experiences at BU.

In many respects, the EvoS seminar series serves as the hub of EvoS as an educational program for students and a vehicle for interdisciplinary interactions for faculty.
