Faculty Research Forums 2011-2012
Faculty Research Forum is a venue where colleagues try out or report on their scholarly or creative work to interdisciplinary audiences. Commonly FRF meets once a month on Friday at 3:30, following the Arts and Sciences Faculty Assembly, almost always in Bingham Humanities Room 300. It includes a presentation followed by a lively Q&A, fueled by various sorts of refreshments.
Faculty Research Forum, an ongoing project of the Commonwealth Center for the Humanities and Society (CCHS), offers research-based talks for an interdisciplinary audience by UofL faculty and occasional guests.
Faculty Research Forums are open to all: faculty, students, staff, and the public.

Dismas Masolo, Philosophy Department,
"Reading Shaaban Robert"
3:30 p.m., Bingham Humanities, Room 300
Convinced that the post-post colonial condition is long overdue, Masolo's current interests are to generate local debates through readings of indigenous authors and intellectuals. It is in this light that he engages in the translation into English of this prominent East African writer's works.
