One Year Later: Reflections and Resiliency after the Boulder Shooting (April 10, 2022) featured the CU Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA)’s Humanities @ Home competition winners and community members Jen Douglas, undergraduate student; Jessica Lawson, Instructor and alumna; and Ross Taylor, Assistant Professor of Journalism. The event will be moderated by Divisional Dean for Arts and Humanities John-Michael Rivera, whose research focuses on gun violence. Our panelists spoke on their art, their process, and how the act of creating has helped each of them reflect upon the March 22 Boulder Shooting at the Table Mesa King Soopers.

Thank you to everyone who joined Colorado Chautauqua and CU Boulder's Center for Humanities & the Arts for this in-person event showcasing resiliency through the creation of art as a response to gun violence in our local community.

With Opening Remarks from: Phil DiStefano (CU, Chancellor)

The third installment of Humanities @ Home, a panel series partnership between CU Advancement and the Center for Humanities & the Arts!

Humanities @ Home: Conspiracy Theories
Thursday, October 28, Noon – 1 pm (MT)
Virtual Zoom Webinar.

This panel, which took place on Thursday, October 28th, 2021 at 12pm noon via Zoom Webinar, took place right before Halloween, and featured Alexandra Siegel, Assistant Professor of Political Science; Greg Gondwe, Assistant Professor of Journalism; and Toby Hopp, Associate Professor of Advertising, Public Relations and Media Design. 

This panel examined the ways in which conspiracy theories have amplified in recent years, particularly since the 2020 election and throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic:  

• Why are conspiracy theories so wildly popular in the age of social media? 
• How do these conspiracy theories affect our lives, our media consumption, and our perceptions of our communities? 

The event was free and open to the public.
