About the Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts
This event is made possible with the generous support of The Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts (z.umn.edu/WintonChair & facebook.com/WintonChair). The Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts was established in October 1987 to encourage innovative, distinctive research in the liberal arts that questions established patterns of thought by bringing  diverse, innovative, and engaged scholars, artists, and performers to campus to engage our community in conversation around their work for periods ranging from a few days to a year. Please direct additional inquiries, requests, and comments to the Faculty Committee for the Winton Chair at winton@umn.edu.
