Each spring the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture sponsors a series of public lectures, held at the University of Virginia. The purpose of these colloquia is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for exploring and discussing issues of enduring significance and common concern. Often working together with other departments and programs at the University of Virginia, these colloquia address tough issues of abiding importance in ways that challenge prevailing assumptions and categories in the academy.
