Co-Sponsored by The University Seminars on Cultural Memory and Public Humanities: Expanding Scholarship and Pedagogy (Faculty House and Heyman Center for The Humanities) For the past 50 years, the Columbia Society of Fellows has welcomed early-career researchers into a community of scholars whose research projects and teaching open new avenues of inquiry both within and across disciplines.  From its earliest years when it gathered in Faculty House, the Society of Fellows has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with University Seminars in bringing together researchers to think together.  In celebration of this partnership and of the milestone anniversaries of both the Society of Fellows and The University Seminars, the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities and The University Seminars on Cultural Memory (#717) and Public Humanities (#805) are hosting a three-day conference, Humanities in the World, to welcome scholars from across the generations to discuss topics and questions that are of particular urgency for scholar-citizens at the present time—and to celebrate what we have accomplished together.
