The Jennings Randolph Fellowship Program annually convenes a series of roundtable discussions in which fellows share findings from their research projects with other interested scholars, policymakers, and members of the press in the greater Washington D.C. area. To expand the reach of these discussions and add a "virtual seat " at the table for those unable to attend in person, the Institute has compiled a collection of archived audio recordings of several presentations made during the 2000-2001 fellowship year.
