Penn Humanities Forum:

Call for Topics

Each year, the seminars and public lectures of the Penn Humanities Forum focus on a single topic or theme. Past subjects have included Human Nature and Style. This year, our topic is Time (faculty planner: Holly Pittman). Next year's will be The Book (faculty planner: Peter Stallybrass).

We now invite faculty across the university to submit topics for 2003-04 and beyond. Ideas should be conceptually broad and interdisciplinary in nature.

Although faculty may submit ideas at any time, it would be useful for the Forum's Board to have all such suggestions in hand by January 30.

Please send your ideas (or direct your questions) to Acting Director Eugene Narmour (enarmour@sas.upenn.edu). For more information, call Jennifer Conway (215-898-8220), Associate Director.

See the web site http://humanities.sas.upenn.edu/about.htm.
