2011 – 2012 Series

Four UNC Charlotte College of Liberal Arts & Sciences scholars explored an array of topics during their talks in the 2011-12 Personally Speaking Series, presented in partnership with J. Murrey Atkins Library.

This signature series supports the University’s mission to serve as a resource to the greater Charlotte area, and is an excellent way to share with the community the knowledge and expertise of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

The authors consider contemporary issues addressed in their books. A reception provides a chance to continue the dialogue in an informal setting. The events in 2011-12 were provided complimentary to the community. The talks were:
