Boston University's Center for the Humanities, Office of the Provost and College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences hosted their 2019 forum, "Can We Talk? Dialogue And Debate In The Contemporary Academy" at WBUR CitySpace.
BUCH forums are designed as intellectual open-air markets that further the exchange of ideas not only among scholars in humanities fields and other professionals but with others who stand to benefit from addressing social problems and their prospective solutions together with humanists. Every fall they focus on a subject of vital importance to the Humanities and to society as a whole.
This year's forum explored one of the biggest challenges facing universities today: the question of how to promote honest intellectual exchange.
