Program

Update April 24: Recordings of presentations are now up on Youtube and linked after the title of each presentation, with permission of the presenters.

Update March 30: We took down the livestream recordings from public view after the event and in the coming 2-3 weeks will prepare them to be re-uploaded to our Youtube channel so that each talk can be individually viewed, with the presenter(s) permission.

All times listed below are in eastern daylight time (EDT). Here is a tool to convert to your local time.

The event will be livestreamed at go.cal.msu.edu/globaldh and we encourage conversation about the symposium at #msuglobaldh on Twitter. As you join the event (through Zoom or Youtube), please sign in!
