Humanities in the Academy: Reflections on the Profession

This year's Colloquium in Humanities offers the graduate students in Interdisciplinary Studies and DLCL a series of informal views on the intellectual, institutional, and professional evolution of the humanistic disciplines as they shaped and, in part, were shaped by some of their most distinguished practitioners. Graduate students and faculty in the Graduate Program in Humanities and the DLCL are welcome to attend.

There will be four or five of these colloquia in 2007-08, each taking place on Friday, 12-2. Lunch will be served at 12.

The Humanities Colloquium is by invitation only. Participants are asked to R.S.V.P. to Monica P. Moore (monica.more@stanford.edu).
