Book Talks
Throughout the Symposium, each scholar will lead a discussion of one of their books. This is a great opportunity to learn from as many of our incredible scholars as possible. All book talks are open to all participants regardless of which track you are taking. Books will be available for purchase and there will be opportunities for book signings.
