Public Conversations
Through speaker series, book talks, published conversations, and other public events, COMIT brings leading scholars, practitioners, and public intellectuals into conversation around the questions at the heart of our research program. Each conversation opens a line of inquiry to wider audiences, building the relationships and shared language through which deeper collaboration becomes possible. All of them are free and open to everyone, and the archive below links to a recording, transcript, or summary of each.
