Scholar Sessions

The Humanities Institute Annual Scholar session allows the Institute to showcase the work of UB's outstanding humanities faculty to the larger Buffalo community and at the same time ensures that highly distinguished scholars are aware of the significance of the scholarly work taking place in the humanities at UB.   The program brings 2-3 renowned scholars to Buffalo to discuss the work of one of our most distinguished faculty members. Scholar Sessions take place in downtown venue, and include plenty of time for audience participation.
