Renaissance civic humanists believed that knowledge could forge a moral community. Humanities in Action events honor this tradition by encouraging our audience to apply what they learn to their civic life. Come engage with contemporary and potentially controversial topics in a welcoming environment. These sessions are offered in collaboration with the General Alumni Association. All Humanities in Action events take place at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill. Most are from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. with the exception of our presentations on February 22 and March 28, which will run from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. There are no preparatory readings for Humanities in Action events.
