Council of Majors Luncheon
Lunch & Learn
Here's a friendly reminder that your Council of Majors will be holding its very first Luncheon of the new semester this Wednesday (10/8) promptly from 12 – 12:45 PM. Keeping the Luncheon tradition alive, this “Brown-Bag” (bring your own lunch) event will be held in Conference Room 354 in the Public Policy Building. In honor of our guest, the Council President is providing Berger Cookies and juice boxes for the attendees of this event.
The guest speaker will be the newest member of the Political Science Department, Dr. Felipe Filomeno! Dr. Filomeno is a highly educated, extremely accomplished member of the UMBC community and a valued professor in the Political Science Department and Global Studies Program:
After earning both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Economics from Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil, Dr. Filomeno attended Johns Hopkins University here in Baltimore. There, he earned a Master’s degree in Sociology, a Graduate Certificate in Cross-National Sociology and International Development, and a Ph.D. in Sociology. His work and research concentrate on comparative and international political economy, with special focus on development issues that affect Latin America. His current research deals with local immigration policy in Baltimore. During his career, Dr. Filomeno published an informative book entitled Monsanto and Intellectual Property in South America. In addition, his research on intellectual property regimes was published in Technology in Society, the Journal of Politics in Latin America, and in the Journal of Comparative Politics.
Invited to an open forum, students may ask any question regarding Dr. Filomeno’s extremely successful academic career. Please feel free to email pscm@umbc.edu with your questions in advance.
See you then!
