Join UWM’s Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) on Oct. 30 for State of the Humanities MKE, a panel discussion that explores how Milwaukeeans and Milwaukee organizations might sustain, expand and care for the humanities across our city. The discussion will be from 4-6 p.m. in Curtin Hall, Room 175.
The State of the Humanities MKE panel, moderated by C21 Director Jennifer Johung, invites four Milwaukee-based humanities advocates: Michael Carriere of the Milwaukee School of Engineering; Art Derse of the Medical College of Wisconsin, Jodi Eastberg of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design; and Maggie Nettesheim Hoffmann of Marquette University.
The panelists will discuss:
- What’s important about the humanities in Milwaukee, especially in our current moment?
- What are we fighting to sustain, expand, or ideate?
- How can we care for the humanities in MKE? What does this look like?
After the panel, guests are invited to head upstairs to C21’s headquarters for a reception and small breakout discussions about actionable steps everyone can take to make Milwaukee a haven for humanists.
