Share

Please join us for the inaugural meeting of the UC Society of Fellows, sponsored by the UC Humanities Network and hosted by the University of California Humanities Research Institute at UC Irvine. Highlighting innovative humanities research across the University of California, this forum brings together the 2010-2011 Presidential Faculty Fellows in the Humanities and Graduate Student Fellows to share their work with campus Humanities Center Directors, Humanities Deans and the UC community at large. They will be joined by Ken Wissoker, Editorial Director of Duke University Press, for a wide-ranging discussion of the value and impact of research across the humanities today.
