Humanities Coffee Hour Series

The Humanities Coffee Hour series provides faculty, staff, and students with the opportunity to discuss relevant topics of interest within the humanities and adjacent fields. Rather than presenting a paper, the facilitators of these conversations share brief comments intended to open up a free-wheeling conversation about subjects that are timely, provocative, and urgent.
