The Humanities Meet Halloween
WED, OCT 29, 6:00 pm
Abe & Jake’s Landing (800 E. 6th Street)
Haunting Humanities explores the insights that the study of humanities can bring to everyday life. Visitors will be given a map of the space and invited to guide themselves through a series of innovative presentations, activities, games, and performances at their own pace. Audience members will also be able to chat one-on-one with participating scholars about their research.
Haunting Humanities is a KU original. It began as the brainchild of the Public Humanities Roundtable, a loosely knit group, convened by the Hall Center, of faculty, staff, and community partners who were interested in developing new ways for humanities researchers to engage the public interactively with their work. When the idea arose for an event like a science fair that could also leverage the public’s interest in Halloween, Haunting Humanities was born.
Sponsors
Haunting Humanities has a host of sponsors and community partners, including the City of Lawrence, Kansas Public Radio, Abe & Jake’s Landing, Coneflower Consulting, and numerous academic departments.
