2008-2009 Lecture Series: The Culture of War

The Culture of War logo - A ring of 5 swords in a concentric circle

The Culture of War, our lecture series for 2008-09, is addressed to those who are interested in crossing traditional boundaries, not only the boundaries that mark off linguistic territories, but those that separate disciplines, media, cultures, and time periods as well. The hallmark of our series is variety, and we hope that everyone will find something to delight and instruct them among the multiplicity of topics addressed by our distinguished speakers this year.

Unless indicated otherwise, each lecture will begin at 2:30 pm on Friday in the Science and Engineering Library, room 090.  Conversation with the speaker for both Faculty and Graduate Students will be held immediately afterward in the same room.  Refreshments will be provided.

You may download a PDF flyer for each lecture by clicking on the speaker's name. The poster for the entire lecture series is available in PDF format by clicking here: Lecture Series PDF.
