The School of Humanities public seminar series endeavours to promote robust academic engagement across the university community.<\/p>

We invite academics based at Sol Plaatje University (SPU) as well as visitors from other institutions to offer papers across a broad range of topics related to the Humanities and cognate disciplines.<\/p>

Our goal is to address an inter-disciplinary audience, generate discussion, and frame provocative arguments.<\/p>

Our seminars are open to academics, students and the general public and will take place during the teaching term from 16h00 to 17h30 in the SPU Library, Level 2, Class Room 1.<\/p>

For enquiries about the seminars, please contact Dr Crispen Chinguno on email crispen.chinguno@spu.ac.za<\/a> or Tel: +27 (0)53 491 0298.<\/p>
