Please also mark your calendars for the second talk of the fall semester, when Naomi McKay, associate professor of psychology, will present “Stress Eating: It Can’t Be All Bad!” at 3:00 p.m. Friday, November 17, in Ketchum Hall 320.

Finally, stay tuned for more information about our upcoming talks this spring, which will include presentations by Mary Beth Sullivan, lecturer in the College Writing Program; and Jason Knight, associate professor in the Political Science, Public Administration, and Planning Department.

The “Conversations” series was started 16 years ago by Ann Colley, SUNY Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, to “celebrate and draw attention to the research being done in various departments at Buffalo State University.” Over this time, colleagues from Anthropology, Art Conservation, Art History, Biology, Chemistry, English, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Secondary Education, among others, have shared their work with the Buffalo State and Buffalo communities.
