“像往常一样, 我们的目标是人文学科的各个领域, I'm especially thrilled that almost all of our speakers work in multiple genres or address more than one discipline,历史学教授西尔维娅Sellers-García说, who now leads the series following an interim directorship during the last academic year. “These talented thinkers demonstrate how some of the most influential work in the humanities is not neatly contained by disciplinary boundaries.

“随着即将到来的总统选举, I was hoping to feature speakers that could address politics in imaginative ways,她补充道。. “Orna Guralnik's lecture will focus on how politics affects our interpersonal relationships, 鲁本·乔纳森·米勒 will address the important topic of voting rights. I hope this year's lectures will stimulate rewarding conversations both in 和 out of the classroom.”  

All events—which are co-sponsored by a number of University dep艺术ments, 项目, 晚上7点开始.m. 将在Gasson 100举行.
