Meet with Brookings Institution Visiting Scholars

Throughout the academic year, Brookings Mountain West hosts scholars from the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Scholars from all Brookings research programs — metropolitan policy, economic studies, governance studies, foreign policy, and global economy and development — visit UNLV and Las Vegas to guest lecture in UNLV classes, offer public lectures, engage with faculty and students, and meet with policymakers. 

This semester three scholars are visiting UNLV:

  • Sarah Reber, Senior Fellow in Economic Studies (Sept. 29-Oct. 2)
  • Joseph Kane, Fellow in Brookings Metro (Oct. 13-16)
  • Michael Hansen, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies (Nov. 3-6)

To schedule a meeting, department gathering, or classroom presentation with one of our visiting Brookings colleagues, please fill out this form.
