The NULab is delighted to announce our 2020 spring calendar of events. We have some very exciting talks, workshops, and other events planned for the semester, organized around our year-long focus on “technologies of democracy.” You can find additional details and registration information for these events at https://nulabcssh.wpengine.com/events/.
These events are free and open to the public but some require registration. Guests from outside the Northeastern community who wish to attend NULab-hosted events should RSVP to Sarah Connell at sa.connell[at]northeastern[dot]edu.
We hope to see you this spring!
