The Chandler Seminars
The UTHC Chandler Seminars provide a workshop atmosphere where our faculty fellows can present their research to one another and also discuss ideas with distinguished visiting scholars.
Underscoring how important intellectual collaboration is to honing ideas and developing new insights, the seminars ask fellows to present the research they will be undertaking during their residencies at the UT Humanities Center. These presentations are followed by roundtable discussions and critical feedback. The seminars provide a key venue for scholars to present their research to a public audience outside of their disciplinary fields and help prepare them to craft project descriptions for national and international grant and book proposals. The Chandler Seminars also provide an opportunity for fellows to engage in spirited discussions with UTHC visiting scholars.
The Chandler Seminars have been made possible by the generous donations of UTHC friends Atty. John Chandler and Elizabeth Chandler.
Fall 2020
All seminars will be via Zoom for Fall 2020.
