This month, Carolina Public Humanities is taking part in a national project called the Being Human Festival, organized by the National Humanities Center. UNC is hosting two related events, both focused on connecting the humanities to the natural world around us. They’re called “Humanities Out Of Doors” – and the first event is this Thursday, April 17, from 2-4 p.m. at the Beaver Marsh Nature Preserve in Durham. UNC professor/poet Gabrielle Calvocoressi will join biologist Allen Hurlbert for a humanities-centered nature walk.

Aaron discusses the event with Allen Hurlbert and CPH events manager Beth Gardiner.
