Details

The Humanities Council’s kick-off event features a wide-ranging conversation about central issues in our research, teaching, and intellectual life. This year’s speakers include distinguished Princeton scholars whose work represents different approaches and historical periods. They will participate in a panel discussion on the theme of “Archives and the Future” and explore questions around the temporality of the archive, archival silences, and various methodologies that shape our practices of research as interpreters of the archive. The conversation will be moderated by Council Chair Esther Schor, the John J. F. Sherrerd ’52 University Professor of English.
