HoTT 2009-2010 Colloquia and Events



The HoTT program sponsors a range of multidisciplinary lectures and colloquia. The Visiting Lecture Series includes noted scholars and editors presenting their work on subjects including interpreting texts or textuality, the book as artefact, writing, and the historical, physical and cultural production, and the consumption of texts (including visual and auditory text). HoTT’s Research Colloquium Series invites HoTT faculty and affiliated faculty to share their works-in-progress with colleagues and graduate students from across the university.
