The CHR is co-sponsoring a two-part series of conversations on the critical work of humanities centers and humanities administration: “Forming the Humanities: OnCare” and “Traversing the Humanities: On Space.” These sessions are open to anyone engaged with the work of directing and administering humanities centers and other spaces.The sessions will be initiated by a series of brief provocations by invited speakers, followed by open discussion. Participants will interrogate the material, symbolic, and philosophical spaces of the center; the aesthetic, affective, and political tasks they assume and perform; the intellectual labor of directing; and the often impossible balance of answering to the demands of accountability and reporting while maintaining an open space of investigation, experimentation, and well-being, among other threads.Register here:- bit.ly/forming-the-humanities - bit.ly/transversing-the-humanities For more information:- chcinetwork.org/ideas/creating-care-and-space-in-humanities-administration-katharine-wallerstein- www.chrflagship.uwc.ac.za/chci-humanities-administration-network-session/ ...
