A Roundtable with Alan Liu, Patricia Fumerton, Andrew Griffin, and Jeremy Douglass.
Transcriptions, South Hall 2509
Technology is changing the landscape of the humanities. Four speakers discuss the varied ways that these changes can impact a humanities career – its skills, fields, projects, conferences, and job listings.
Each speaker will present a short statement, followed by a roundtable discussion and opportunity for audience participation. There will be light refreshments.
