Show Notes

On this episode, we reflect on creativity in its worldly context as we continue to visit with the Humanities Center’s most recent cohort of Alumni College fellows.   Our topic is New Perspectives on Art, Aesthetics, and the World at Large, and our guests are Dr. Ali Duffy,  Associate Professor of Dance and Founder and Artistic Director of the Flatlands Dance Theatre, Dr. Michael Jordan, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, and Dr. Matthew Hunter, an Assistant Professor of English who focuses on poetry and drama of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.  We also check in with Yerko Sepulveda, a specialist in Spanish Linguistics with the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures.   Yerko was the first student the Humanities Center selected to represent Texas Tech at the National Humanities Center's graduate student summer residency last year.
