The University of
Pennsylvania, School of Arts and Sciences will be holding their annual Penn Humanities
Forum starting September 16! The mission statement of the forum includes the
following description:
“The Penn Humanities Forum is charged with
taking a fresh look at those insights that touch on the human experience. Our
goals are to demonstrate how vital the humanities are to the life of the mind
and the health of society, and how the humanities are connected with many areas
of inquiry in medicine, law, business, and the social sciences.”
The topic for the 2015-2016 forum is sex. The public
events for this series are listed below.
