UCA’s Fall 2007 Humanities Fair will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 28 in the Brewer-Hegeman Conference Center on the UCA campus. Registration will begin at 9 a.m., and programs will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The conference, organized by UCA’s Humanities and World Cultures Institute, is free and open to high school students and their teachers. It is not required for students to submit original humanities projects to attend, although awards will be made to highlight excellence and creativity in student work. The theme of this year?s humanities fair is Malcolm Gladwell?s “The Tipping Point.” Student projects based on this theme are welcome, as are submissions with other topics. Project examples may include poetry, short stories (fiction or creative nonfiction), essays, or multimedia presentations (for Tipping Point projects).
The Humanities Fair will enable students to experience what their first day will be like when they attend university courses. They will have their choice of attending this year?s sessions to be conducted by UCA professors in Philosophy and Religion, History, English, Anthropology departments and Asian and Gender Studies concentrations.
