Penn humanities faculty are invited to participate in a lunchtime conversation about the humanities at Penn and Penn’s global initiatives. What are the resources, overlaps, and opportunities? How can we most productively develop the dialogue across these two initiatives? Roundtable members will briefly present before opening the floor for group discussion.
