Both projects look beyond the category of the exotic to explore how knowledge of the wider world circulated among European publics, including in ways shaped by non-Europeans themselves.

Each year, the Arts and Humanities celebrate faculty who have recently been promoted to the rank of professor by asking each to present a public lecture on his or her body of research or creative activity and current projects. All lectures are held at the Faculty Club, ABCD Rooms (2nd floor). Wednesday lectures are from 5-6:30 p.m., and Friday lectures are from 2-3:30 p.m. A short, 10-minute reception will precede each lecture. All are free and open to the public.
