Faculty Fellows Lecture Series
The Center for the Humanities annually hosts a series of informal lectures featuring the recipients of junior and senior faculty fellowships. The talks focus on the fellows’ research. They provide an opportunity for faculty members to learn more about each other’s work and allow the Center to show off some of the intellectual riches it has helped foster. The goal of the series is to create a collegial environment that encourages discussion.
