To schedule a seminar, send your talk title to "terrat at ou dot edu" at least one week before the desired seminar date (so that you can get on the departmental schedule). Seminar dates towards the end of the semester tend to fill up quickly, so reserve early! Unless you are a graduate student doing your required departmental seminar, your seminar need not fill the entire hour, nor be carefully polished. We encourage presentations (short or long) on works in progress!
