As part of their new Mellon initiative, Seminars in Historical, Global, and Emerging Humanities, the Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI) is partnering with Duke's 18 arts, humanities, and interpretive social sciences departments to organize a three-year series of cross-departmental public seminars. Each Humanities Futures event brings together a sub-group of Duke humanities departments, in a joint exploration of the futures of the disciplines in light of the interdisciplinary developments of recent decades.
Professor Schneider will present a talk entited, "Extending a Hand: Gesture, Duration, and the (Non)Human Turn" as part of the event on March 25.
