Humanities Futures at Large: Conference & Symposia

Beyond its main program tracks (Departmental Partnerships; Working Groups in Global and Emerging Humanities; Seminars in Concepts, Figures, Art Forms; the FHI-NCCU Digital Humanities Fellowships; the Capstone Conference), Humanities Futures also supported a rich set of “at large” speakers visits, conferences, and special projects. In addition to its Capstone Conference on Health Humanities and Social Justice, HF also supported several conferences that aligned with the grant’s emphasis on historic, global, and emerging humanities, and their complex intersections: Neurodiversities; Death Drives, or Thinking with the Corpse; and Afro-Asian Connections in the Local/Global South.
