Humanities on the Road

In our Humanities on the Road series, a project of our State Outreach and Strategic Partnerships initiative, Carolina Public Humanities partners with community colleges and cultural institutions throughout North Carolina to bring humanities scholars from UNC Chapel Hill to engage with public communities around the state. Of the five Humanities on the Road events we have planned for this fall, three will be held in person, and two will be held in a virtual online format. For a more detailed schedule and description of each seminar, simply click on the titles below.
