The Alexander Grass Humanities Institute and the Bird in Hand Bookshop have kicked off a new initiative in the public humanities called "Humanities in the Village." The endeavor seeks to bring fresh scholarly work from our city's thriving universities and colleges into conversation with a broader public audience. How does humanities research intersect with contemporary social and political concerns? Can we include these intersections in our developing work, bringing our scholarship into closer resonance with the pressing public matters of this time?
Time: Always at 6:30 p.m. on the last Monday of each month
Location: Bird in Hand Bookshop in Charles Village (Zoom during COVID-19)
Format: Scholars present short and accessible excerpts of ongoing research, followed by spirited sessions of collective discussion and feedback.
Audience: These events draw a diverse audience of local teachers, students, professionals, activists, book lovers, and public intellectuals. The intimate setting provides scholars with the invaluable opportunity to fold critical dialogue into their ongoing projects.
