The (Daily) Life of the Mind: A Brown Bag Discussion on Cultivating Friendship and Worldliness in Humanities Research

This discussion considers how research in the humanities can contribute to cultivating career-spanning relationships between scholars that can have positive impacts on both the quality of one’s research and one’s long-term mental health. Professors Elisabeth Anker (The George Washington University) and Ramzi Fawaz (UW-Madison), will discuss how their own thinking in political theory and cultural and literary studies has been substantially supported by their developing friendship.
