I LOVED PROFESSOR ____'S TALK LAST YEARS, BUT SHE ISN'T LISTED ON THIS YEAR'S SCHEDULE. WHY?
The speakers and topics at Arts and Humanities Day change from year to year because of new research projects and the personal and professional schedules of each presenter. Individuals who spoke last year might be busy this fall, but look for them at a future Arts and Humanities Day! Alternatively, we have several years of Arts and Humanities Day presenters' sessions available on the Division of the Arts & Humanities YouTube channel.
WHERE WILL THE PRESENTATIONS BE HELD?
Arts and Humanities Day is being held at numerious locations around the UChicago campus. You can find location infomation listed in each session. Visit our Locations and Transportation page to view a map of each location.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN REGISTRATION FOR A PRESENTATION OR TOUR IS SOLD OUT?
Room sizes at UChicago vary widely, and some presentations and tours may reach registration capacity. If you wish to see a presentation that is no longer open for registration, you can be placed on a waitlist and be notified via email if a spot becomes available. If you have any questions about the waitlist, please contact us at artshumanities@uchicago.edu.
