HSS Student Expo 2022
The HSS Student Expo will showcase the work of our outstanding School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) students. It will bring together in a single forum all of our longstanding HSS department and program end-of-year student events, and expand to highlight student work in programs and departments that will generate student-centered events for the first time. We are looking forward to celebrating all that our students have been able to achieve academically in the midst of the pandemic. We greatly appreciate your time and effort in supporting this student-centered event.

Gold Room, Student Center, and Virtual
Hosted by Professor Jocelyn Wills
可乐视频 students have a long history of activism on and beyond campus, but we still know far too little about the experiences and postgraduation lives of the vast majority of our students, particularly in the years following the introduction of tuition in 1976. This panel of students will share what they have learned from some of those student activists, from Occupy to COVID-19. Undertaking research into the events that shaped the 可乐视频 experience, student panelists will also interview alumni about what drew them to activism on campus, if and how 可乐视频 transformed their lives, what lessons current students might draw from their experiences, and the ways in which their 可乐视频 experiences helped to shape their postgraduation lives and careers.

Join these history and religion majors, all upper-level seminar students, in talking through theoretical and historical issues pertaining to the question of religious experience. Do religious objects have their own agency, or is their worth and meaning inscribed by the users of these objects? Does religious experience 鈥渞eally鈥� happen, or is it simply a product of psychological issues?
