Please join us for our second Methods Lab event featuring Dr. John French for a discussion about the essential dialogue between theory and evidence in his study of Brazil's Lula. Sydney Marshall will serve as chair while José Sanchez and Frederico Freitas will be discussants for this event.
The event will take place on October 3, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. in-person at Classroom Building room 229.
