Haunting Humanities: Disciplines in the Dark is a free evening of immersive presentations featuring spooky stories and legends. A science fair for the humanities with a Halloween twist,Haunting Humanities ensures that individuals of all ages are able to explore the insights that the study of history, literature, language, and culture can bring to everyday life. 
 
Halloween is a holiday that can bring out repressed histories, memories, and fears to the surface while allowing us to celebrate that very thing which makes us most human - our mortality. As such, it provides a unique opportunity for scholars of human culture and society to share serious research, nightmarish stories, chilling factoids, and joyful revelations.
 
In honor of Halloween, we invite you to join us and explore both the fun and the frightening, the dark and delightful, aspects of humanity with our stellar lineup of humanities faculty, graduate students, and scholars from across the region!!!
