Scholars from all Brookings research programs — metropolitan policy, economic studies, governance studies, foreign policy, and global economy and development — visit UNLV and Las Vegas throughout the academic year to guest lecture in UNLV classes, offer public lectures, engage with faculty, and meet with policymakers.

During their visits, they will conduct research, deliver lectures, and meet with university faculty, students, and community leaders.

Public Lectures

The Brookings Scholar Lecture Series provides a forum for scholars from the Brookings Institution to offer research, perspectives, and recommendations on important public policy issues to Southern Nevada. All public lectures are free and open to the community.
