From film to books to music, 32 baby直播app achievements will be celebrated at the University of baby直播app Boulder next week.
The Center for Humanities & the Arts will host a baby直播app celebration of recent major works on Feb. 10 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Center for British and Irish Studies Room of Norlin Library (M549, fifth floor). The event is free and open to the public. Food and drinks will be provided.
Jennifer Ho
The center aims to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration at CU Boulder. On top of an annual fellowship competition for baby直播app specializing in the humanities and arts, the center also provides funding and fellowships to baby直播app and graduate students for research and scholarship.
Jennifer Ho, the center鈥檚 director, hopes this social event will be an opportunity for people to learn more about what the baby直播app have been working on.
鈥淚 want the center to be a hub on campus for collaboration and community that draws in anyone interested in doing arts and humanities work or celebrating, enjoying, appreciating and finding value in arts and humanities scholarship and artistic production, humanistic inquiry,鈥 Ho says. 鈥淚 really see this as a place that can bring people together.鈥
Ho encourages everyone to attend, even those not directly involved in studying the arts and humanities. These fields of knowledge remind us of our humanity, Ho says.
Ho, a professor of ethnic studies, researches Asian American literature and culture, multiethnic and contemporary American literature, and discourse that focuses on or reflects racism and ethnicity.
She was appointed to lead the center last year and wants to prompt campus conversations about the importance of the arts and humanities. To that end, the center will also host baby直播app panel discussions on critical topics in a series called 鈥淒ifficult Dialogues.鈥
On March 3, the series鈥 first panel discussion will encourage discussions on race and offer strategies to address it. John-Michael Rivera of the Program for Writing & Rhetoric will moderate a discussion with Sam Flaxman of ecology and evolutionary biology, Tiara R. Na鈥檖uti of communication, and Celeste Montoya of women and gender studies.
More broadly, Ho hopes to herald the value of the arts and humanities. She puts it this way:
鈥淎rts and humanities give meaning to life. Without arts and humanities and without scholars researching and asking these really important questions and documenting history and exploring various world religions and teaching languages and introducing us to the literatures of other languages and cultures, we wouldn鈥檛 be able to really appreciate what it is about us that makes us human.鈥
