What is the responsibility of intellectuals today? How can and how should the humanities respond to overlapping global crises, including a perceived crisis of their own legitimacy? In four conversations taking place over two days, the panelists will discuss the challenges that the humanities and intellectual life face today. The discussion will be opened up to attending members of the Harvard community.
