*Featured Speakers:*
*Lynn Itagaki (English, Asian American Studies, WGSS)*
*Melissa Curley (Comp. Studies)*

Thursday January 26, 4-5.30pm, 168 Dulles Hall

The Oxford English Dictionary has named “post-truth” the word of 2016. The
Premodernist Group hopes to look at different historical contexts/cases
where generally accepted “truths” were somehow rendered unimportant,
whether deliberately or unintentionally, thereby providing possible
historical comparanda for our more recent “post-truth” moments.  Between
them, our interdisciplinary panel will speak to experiences Eastern and
Western, modern and non-modern. Each panelist will talk for about 10 mins,
offering some general thoughts that might somehow relate a “post-truth”
perspective to their own particular area of interest.  General discussion
will then follow. We warmly invite all those interested to attend.

Best,
Ying and Greg
