Join us for a yearlong series of lectures in which historians and memoirists, librarians and authors, artists and public humanities practitioners, discuss the critical role that the arts and humanities play in sustaining and inspiring democratic engagement.

Brown Bag Series

Held monthly during the academic year, the series provides a forum for faculty and graduate students to share their research, teaching, and digital humanities projects.
