The Atlantic World Research Network
Sponsored Speakers |
The Atlantic World Research Network sponsors and co-sponsors presentations by distinguished visitors to UNCG, some planned by the Network itself, others by allied departments and units. We invite inquiries to awrn@uncg.edu from those wishing to bring a speaker or presenter to campus whose research or creative activity addresses the transatlantic exchange—in the humanities, the social sciences, the natural sciences, or the arts. Please provide a CV for the proposed visitor, along with a brief (100-250-word) description of his or her presentation. Preference given to presentations whose likely transatlantic or circumatlantic connections are substantial rather than incidental.
