The Joukowsky Institute's Dr. Pinar Durgun, currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Archaeology and also a graduate of Brown University's doctoral program in Archaeology and the Ancient World (January 2018), has been chosen as one of the two speakers for the Brown Graduate School's Commencement ceremonies this year. She will be talking about ways that the past helps us think about the future: “I know some things about the past, some things about the present, but I don’t know anything about the future — so here are some things that I learned and some things that I might use to look forward to the future.” Brown University's Commencement will take place on Sunday, May 27, 2018.
