The Edu­ca­tion Research Alliance for New Orleans holds a month­ly Pol­i­cy and Research Brown Bag Series to present ear­ly stage research in an off-the-record set­ting. Bring­ing togeth­er local pol­i­cy­mak­ers, edu­ca­tion lead­ers, and prac­ti­tion­ers, dis­cus­sions focus on the prac­ti­cal real­i­ties of the schools and impli­ca­tions of research find­ings for pol­i­cy and prac­tice. The Brown Bag pre­sen­ta­tions are every sec­ond Wednes­day of the month from noon to 1 p.m. (see sched­ule for details) in our offices at 1555 Poy­dras (the Tulane Med­ical School Build­ing, across from the Super­dome); or oth­er loca­tions around the New Orleans com­mu­ni­ty as not­ed below.
