[Virtual] Scholars@Hallwalls: Tamara Thornton - "Globes and the Global Imagination in Early America: Objects, Ideas, and People"

For 2020-21, the UB Humanities Institute enters the tenth year of the Scholars@Hallwalls lecture series. Under the constraints of the pandemic, the talks will be virtual this year. While we regret that we will not be able to gather in-person in our customary space inside Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, we are glad for the opportunity to have attendees from beyond Western New York join us for this series of engaging humanities-based lectures with lively follow-up conversation.

This year's lineup highlights the interdisciplinary range of humanities research at UB.

Talks are on Friday afternoons at 4 pm and are free and open to the public. Based on the featured fellow's preference, talks will either be pre-recorded videos that will be shared in advance with live Q&A via Zoom or presented live on Zoom with Q&A following the presentation. Please use the links provided below for details for each talk.

While we cannot provide the usual wine and hors d'oeuvres served at Hallwalls, we highly encourage you to join us with a beverage and snack to add to the convivial nature of these talks.
