Sponsored Conferences
Each year, the Cultures and Texts Faculty Advisory Committee
sponsors several larger conferences. These interdisciplinary
conferences in the humanities bring in scholars at the regional,
national, and international level. They are one way in which
Cultures and Texts is encouraging new research and
conversations at UB.
