Townsend Center for the Humanities

The Townsend Center for the Humanities encourages an interdisciplinary approach to scholarship, fosters innovation in research, and promotes intellectual conversation among individuals from the humanities and related fields at UC Berkeley. Berkeley Book Chats is a popular series which showcases a Berkeley faculty member engaged in a public conversation about a recently completed work.
