The East Asian Collection at KU Libraries will be hosting the annual John Dardess Research Forum this semester on Friday, April 19th from 3:00 to 5:15 in Watson Library room 455. We will have Dr. Sherry Fowler as the moderator, along with 21 presenters of both faculty and students from a variety of different departments at KU.

The forum will consist of faculty and graduate students sharing their current research interests, upcoming publications, Ph.D. dissertation, or M.A. thesis! Currently, we have allocated 5 minutes for everyone to present on their topic.
