The 2010 CHCI Annual Meeting will be held at the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University, June 14-15, 2010. The title of the meeting, Whose Global Humanities? is intended to spur a collective interrogation of the idea of globalism in the context of academic research, publishing, programmatic activity, networking, and institution/organization-building. Our first confirmed plenary speaker is filmmaker/cultural theorist Mieke Bal, with a second major plenary speaker to be announced soon. Workshops are being planned on the topics of designing and implementing programs involving arts organizations and artists, along with a special workshop centered on funding and finance in the currently challenging economic climate.

In addition to a range of lectures, panels, workshops, screenings, and opportunities for interaction with your peers and colleagues, we are delighted to announce that James A. Leach, Chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, will address the CHCI membership on the evening of June 14.
