The Center for Research on Vermont is an interdisciplinary network of scholars and community members who share information, ideas, and research on Vermont. We assist scholars, government representatives, students, the media, and the public by serving as an information clearinghouse and sponsoring lectures, conferences, and publications. The Center's Research-in-Progress Seminar Series provides a forum for scholarly discourse. The Center for Research on Vermont also coordinates the Vermont Studies Program, an interdisciplinary minor in the College of Arts and Sciences, in cooperation with other departments in all schools and colleges at the University of Vermont.
Spring 2012 Research Seminars
Each semester the Center hosts a series of lectures that showcase new research on Vermont-related topics or public issues. Please visit our Spring Seminars page for all the information. All seminars are open to the public. Thanks to RETN, our local educational cable television channel, who films and airs all of our seminars on channel 16. You can view former lectures by accessing RETN's digital library (click here).
