The Humanities Dialogue

CARE

A year-long conversation about care and its possibilities

protection • concern • caution • labor • welfare • service • voluntarism • mentoring • illness •
disability • intimacy • charity • emotions • trust • sustainability  • feminism

The Kaplan Humanities Institute will partner with Northwestern departments and programs in our year-long series of conversations around the theme of CARE.

The goal of this Dialogue series is to build a multi-layered conversation showcasing ways that different humanities- and art-related approaches shape the debate around a timely subject. We seek to support artists, public intellectuals, activists, and scholars from a variety of disciplines, geographical areas of focus, and historical periods. The CARE Dialogue will include:
