The 2027 Humanities Symposium will be hosted Tuesday, March 23 and Wednesday, March 24 2027. We are excited to welcome keynote speaker Brooke Williams, author and co-director of Great West Institute.
The Humanities Symposium is an annual event through which the Humanities Program engages the campus community in interdisciplinary and up-to-the-moment discussions on art, culture, and theory by showcasing the work of our faculty and students. Keynote addresses provide the opportunity for international scholars and professionals to share their field-specific knowledge with students and to model career paths open to students with a liberal arts degree. Themes of past symposia include Heritage: Preservation and Collective Memories (2015), Migrants/Borders/Refuge (2016), Art and Science (2017), Popular Culture and the Avant-Garde (2020), Baggage and the Work of Alex Caldiero (2021), and Transgression (2022). The Symposium always aims to demonstrate that the Humanities are an important lens through which we interpret our lives and the events that are happening in the world right now, as well as the implications of our past. To that end, our theme for 2023 was Time, Memory, and History.
