What is interdisciplinarity? Does crossing disciplinary boundaries unite or divide humanists? Is such work advisable or even possible for graduate students?

Don't miss this inaugural event of the 2004-05 Graduate Humanities Forum! Join us for a moderated panel discussion with four of Penn's leading
interdisciplinary humanists; informal Q & A to follow.

All graduate students and faculty invited.
