Center for Global Humanities
University of New England
The Center for Global Humanities at the University of New England is dedicated to exploring the human condition in the 21st century. The Center hosts speakers from around the globe and across the broad spectrum of the humanities. Note: Not all our lectures are available on podcast because lectures that rely on Powerpoint and other visual aids do not lend themselves easily to this format. Listeners are invited to check our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/UNECenterforGlobalHumanities) for a more comprehensive list of lectures.
