Literature and War–A Conversation with Jim Hicks

Nov 11, 2014 | 5:00 p.m. | Room 212, Campus Honors Program (1205 W. Oregon Street, Urbana) | Free and open to the public

The IPRH and the Campus Honors Program, in collaboration with the Great War Initiative, present an undergraduate “Inside Scoop” Series event on “Literature and War,” with Jim Hicks, author of Lessons from Sarajevo and editor of the Massachusetts Review. Join us for an informal conversation with Professor Hicks, exploring how he was drawn to his subject, and how literature can illuminate our understanding of war. This session offers an opportunity for all interested undergrads, no matter their majors, to share in the excitement of the great breadth of work done by humanities professors near you. Pizza and, of course, ice cream (scoops!) will be served.
