Does graduate education in the humanities have a future at the University of California, and if so what might it look like? In this roundtable, the first event in the IHC’s Future of the University series, UCSB faculty will discuss innovative graduate programs and initiatives that transcend disciplinary boundaries and train students for the new intellectual, professional, and economic landscape of the twenty-first century. Participants will include Mary Bucholtz (Linguistics), Susan Derwin (German, Slavic & Semitic Studies), Carl Gutierrez-Jones (English), Alan Liu (English), Patrick McCray (History), and Janet Walker (Film & Media Studies).

Sponsored by the IHC’s Future of the University series.
