Discover the ideas, stories, and scholarship of UWM authors in the humanities. 

Through this series, C21 invites UWM authors to share their newly published books with the campus community and the wider public. These conversations offer an opportunity to hear directly from authors about their work, research, creative processes, and the ideas that inspire their latest publications. 

If you are a UWM author with a newly published book in the humanities and would like to present your work as part of this series, please contact Lead Faculty Advisor Anna Mansson McGinty at mansson@uwm.edu.
