The John Nicholas
Brown Center, Brown
University
and The Rhode Island Council for the Humanities
present
A lunchtime lecture series
Frontiers of Public
Humanities:
New Challenges and New Directions for Museums
|
|
Please join us for a conversation about new ideas
and controversial issues of the public humanities with some of
today's most thoughtful museum leaders. We hope that these programs
will bring together students and practitioners of the public humanities
for discussion and dialog. By talking about the topics that concern
us, we can see new opportunities and new possibilities for our
work and our audiences.
