Seminars will be available both online and In-person, please pay attention to the location when you choose the seminar.  For In-person seminars, the location is subject to change, depending on public health guidelines and the whims of the Venue.  If there is a circumstance that is outside of the control of LIR and the seminar can continue to be in-person we will attempt to keep the location to a similar address, for example staying in the same town or keeping a seminar at Smith College just moving the Building.
