The BYU Economic Self-Reliance along with the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies sponsors multiple lunch lectures each month. These discussions are regular lectures presenting research and other work in their areas of interest related to economic self-reliance. These archives only have the lectures that the ESR Center was directly involved with.
