Janus Conversations
Janus Conversations are intimate professor chats on interesting topics. The Janus Fellows organize each event and select a Brown professor to speak on a given topic for approximately twenty minutes. This is followed by a break for food and then a question and answer session. These events offer students a chance to interact with Brown professors, engage in discussions around interesting and relevant topics, and meet other intellectually curious students. Janus Conversations supplement the larger lectures by providing ongoing opportunities for students to engage in meaningful political discourse.
