Call for Proposals: Duke's Wednesdays at the Center Series

Wednesdays at the John Hope Franklin Center: A weekly public lecture series is requesting proposals. The call for proposals will be open from Oct. 6 through Dec. 8. 

Wednesdays at the Center (W@TC) is a weekly series in which scholars, artists, journalists, and others speak informally about their work in conversation with an audience of students, faculty, staff, and community members. The series is organized, hosted, and archived by the John Hope Franklin Center. Collaborating partners provide support with lunch and guest services. All events in the series are free and open to the public.

Each event in the series is one hour, running from 12-1 p.m. Speakers should prepare a 45-50 minute presentation and allow for an open forum conversation with the audience at the end of the talk. Presentations are recorded and videos made available on Duke’s iTunes University catalog and the Franklin Center’s YouTube channel.

Proposals should be submitted through this digital form. The deadline for submission is Dec. 8, 2017 by 5 p.m. Questions can be directed to Amanda Frederick at jhfc@duke.edu
