Ropes Lecture Series
Each winter, the Ropes Lecture Series at the University of Cincinnati focuses on a central theme, inviting prominent writers and scholars for public lectures, which are always free and open to the public. The 2008 Ropes Lecture Series explores the interrelations of violence and literature in a post-9/11 world and seeks to understand how human rights issues are central to the humanities. We hope you will join us.
All lectures will be held at 8:00 pm in ERC 427 (on the ground floor).
Cash and credit parking is available at Woodside Garage, located next to ERC. Take the garage elevator to the main floor, exit the library's lobby, and ERC (Engineering Research Center) will be on your left (campus map and directions to campus).
