Events
The Center hosts several public events during the year as opportunities for CASBS friends to learn more about major issues and questions from leading behavioral and social science scholars.
SAGE-CASBS Award Lecture
Each year CASBS and SAGE Publishing present the SAGE-CASBS Award, recognizing outstanding achievement in the understanding and advancement of the behavioral and social sciences as applied to pressing social issues. The award recipient delivers a public talk at CASBS.
