Faculty Research Exchange

The Humanities Center and the Learning and Teaching Center are delighted to inaugurate an interdisciplinary program for the promotion of public scholarship on campus -- Dialogos. Much like a mini-conference organized around a central question, each session will feature one or two faculty members presenting a pertinent aspect of their current research, followed by comments by another faculty member whose work treats a related topic or field.

The theme for the 2011-2012 academic year is tba. 

The theme for the 2010-2011 academic year was "The Philosophy of Place" (see News page for a listing of events). Presenters include Adriana Estill (English and American Studies), David Lefkowitz (Art and Art History), Elizabeth McKinsey (English and American Studies), Victoria Morse (History), John Schott (Cinema and Media Studies), Dana Strand (French and Francophone Studies), Noboru Tomonari (Asian Languages), and Hong Zeng (Asian Languages). In addition, George Shuffelton (English) will present his work on Chaucer and pornography, with comments by Carol Donelan (Cinema and Media Studies).

If you would like to suggest a theme for a future Dialogos series, please contact Susannah Ottaway.
