Intended for students from across the campus, Inside Scoop conversations invite Illinois undergraduates to engage with the exciting work conducted by scholars whose work helps us understand what it means to be human in a world of rapidly shifting global complexities. These sessions offer an opportunity for all interested undergrads, no matter their majors, to engage with creative minds in the humanities.
Registration for this event is now full. If you would like to be added to the wait list, please register here by February 7th, 2020. We will contact students if space becomes available. Lunch will be served.
