Each year the Humanities Lab undertakes an investigation of a specific question or topic. For the 2017-2018 academic year we are focusing on revolutionary events, ideas, and developments, seen through interdisciplinary and cultural perspectives.
Talks, lectures and workshops will focus on perception, technology, history, and politics.
Join us for one event or for the whole series! All events are free and open to the public.
This exciting weekly series is dedicated to social justice and action that impacts society beyond the academy. Organized by the Dpt of Anthropology, the Social Impact Talks series provides an informal setting where speakers share new work and works-in-progress. Speakers include anthropologists, scholars in other disciplines, and people working outside academia to build social justice and progressive change. Audience members are encouraged to be active participants and to engage the speakers in an exciting intellectual exchange.
We are delighted to welcome renowned photographer and critic Teju Cole at American University in October 2018 for a series of lectures and events. Check back here in September to see the full schedule of his visit.
