The WSU Humanities Center invites faculty, students, staff, and the community to attend our annual Faculty Fellowship conference on, "Fear and Fragility in the COVID-19 Era".

The world as we know it today seems more developed and advanced than the world we knew a century ago. However, this world harbors many fears and fragilities, some of which have shaped our collective reality in new and previously unthought ways. We are living through a COVID-19 pandemic and the augmented reality it has created; there is elevated social distress that yields social uprisings and instability along with political polarization. Anxiety grows while we wait for the definition of what will be the "new normal".

Internal speakers include:

Lauren Duquette-Rury, Lauren Kalman, Shirin Montazer, Jessica Moorman, Pradeep Sopory and Sarah Swider.

Please RSVP for this event.
