conversations at the stanford humanities center
Conversations at the Stanford Humanities Center revives a Stanford tradition of dinner talks by faculty. In the intimate setting of the Humanities Center's Levinthal Hall, Stanford faculty, visiting scholars, and guests gather for good food and spirited conversation on a topic of common intellectual concern. The evening kicks off with a faculty presentation, after which guests participate in a dinner discussion and a Q&A session with the speaker.
Conversations at the Stanford Humanities Center is open to the public. The cost to attend is $50 per person and pre-registration is required. Please contact Zoë Bower at 650.724.8155 or zbower@stanford.edu for more information or to subscribe to the invitation list.
