Dr. Jiang Wu, director of the Center for Buddhist Studies, will present at the 2020 Tucson Humanities Festival in a PechaKucha discussion on the theme “Toward Justice For All: The Global Impact of Humanities Research.” Dr. Wu’s presentation, entitled "How Buddhist Studies Engage Social Justice," will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020 at 4 pm via webinar.
This year, the festival has been transformed into a series of virtual presentations about what the ideals of freedom, equality and justice mean today, in America and around the world. Faculty across the College of Humanities will share their research and scholarship that addresses systemic racism and discrimination. The audience will come away with concrete activities from a variety of disciplines working to counteract these prevailing inequalities.
