Humanities and the Search for Truth

Description

In this age of disinformation and political polarization, please join Christopher Celenza, dean of the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, for a discussion of our collective search for truth, trust, and credibility in scholarship, education, and civic engagement.

Dean Celenza, author of the new book The Italian Renaissance and the Origins of the Modern Humanities: An Intellectual History, 1400–1800, is joined by Hahrie Han, inaugural director of the SNF Agora Institute, and Mark Christian Thompson, professor of English. William Egginton, director of the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute, will moderate the discussion.
