Our hope with this digital event is to expand the reach of the history of the humanities as a research field and engage new scholars to questions we believe are globally relevant.

The digital event will be open to all and free to attend. After a round of overviews from prominent scholars, we will moderate a joint discussion and also invite the audience to ask questions.
