Humanities Lecture Series
Louis Menand
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of English, Harvard University
"A Man is Shot: The Cold War Meaning of a Cinematic Technique"
November 17, 7:30 p.m.
Auditorium, Spencer Museum of Art
Additional event: "Reform and Resistance in the American University: A Conversation with Louis Menand"
November 18, 10:00 a.m.
Hall Center Conference Hall
Louis Menand is perhaps best known for his Pulitzer-Prize-winning book, The Metaphysical Club (2001), a history of late 19th and early 20th century American thought, hailed by critics as "an absorbing narrative about personalities and social history...about the evolution of the American mind." Most recently, he has written on the liberal arts curriculum, humanities and interdisciplinarity, and the development of the professoriate in The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University (2010). In his Humanities Lecture Series presentation, the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of English at Harvard University will discuss a key moment in American self-definition, exploring how changes in film style and form reflect a broader Cold War story.

New Faculty Workshop
"External Grant Funding: Why Should I Bother?"
Kathy Porsch, Grant Development Officer, Hall Center for the Humanities,
and Sherrie Tucker, Associate Professor, American Studies
November 16, 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Hall Center Seminar Room
 
Join Sherrie Tucker and Kathy Porsch for an energetic discussion of external grants and fellowships. What is involved in preparing applications for major funders like the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies? What support does the Humanities Grant Development Office provide? Most important, why should you bother? The Hall Center's New Faculty Workshops seek to help new faculty members in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts negotiate the first three years at KU. The workshops are an interactive forum in which speakers provide a short talk before taking your questions.
The RSVP date for this event has passed. If you would like to attend but still have not responded, please contact the Hall Center at hallcenter@ku.edu or 785-864-4798. Attendance is still possible but lunch may not be available.
