The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts is proud to announce the 15th Annual Interdisciplinary Colloquium, which will take place on Thursday, April 20 in University Center West, rooms 2217-2220. This event is open to the public at no charge.
This year’s theme, “Locks and Keys,” invites students and faculty to explore the broader meanings and applications of physical, theoretical, metaphorical, existential and cognitive locks and keys. These objects are often taken for granted in our daily lives, but they have the power to evoke moments of liberation, openness, or revelation, as well as moments of confinement, isolation and despair.
“The Interdisciplinary Colloquium is a dynamic event that brings together student and faculty scholars from all across campus,†says Dr. Alexandra Natoli, Assistant Professor of French and event organizer. “After the success of last year’s Colloquium, ‘Space,’ this year’s theme, ‘Locks and Keys,’ proposes an interdisciplinary approach to access and equity.”
The Colloquium provides a platform for students and faculty to exchange ideas and interpretations of the theme. It is an opportunity for scholars to highlight their research, present their work and receive feedback from their peers. The event encourages interdisciplinary collaborations and fosters a community of learners.
