Flyleaf Books Lecture Series

The Program in the Humanities’ Flyleaf Book Lecture Series includes Spotlight on Scholars and Humanities in Action. This series is intended for the lifelong learner on the go. Spotlight on Scholars features UNC-Chapel Hill faculty discussing their recent work—their new books or newest scholarly passion. Humanities in Action events explore contemporary and potentially controversial topics in a welcoming environment. All lectures take place on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon from 4:30pm – 6:00pm at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill.
