This seminar investigates the complex relationship between cannabidiol (CBD) and the endocannabinoid system within a specialized HIV-1 Tat mouse model. By comparing one-time acute exposure against a 12-week chronic regimen in aged mice, the study explores how treatment duration influences cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Results highlight a sophisticated restructuring of the endocannabinoid signaling landscape, where receptor expression and metabolic shifts are governed by intricate interactions between sex and genotype.

The work of Valentin-Yves Mudimbe has profoundly shaped how we think, teach, and imagine the possibilities of knowledge. His reflections on the colonial library, on the making and unmaking of "Africa" as a category, and on the labor of critique, remain foundational across disciplines. At Duke University-where Mudimbe's presence, writings, and mentorship have left a lasting imprint-there is both an intellectual and ethical imperative to honor this legacy.

This workshop will focus on effectively finding and using both digital and physical primary sources for your humanities and social sciences research projects. We will focus on how to integrate primary resources into your research in order to effectively support your arguments. We will provide practical tips such as how to find sources in English, foreign languages, or in translation, how to prepare to visit an archive or rare books library, how to save and organize what you find, and how to cite primary sources.

What use is there in a humanities degree today? Is there space in the university for work that shapes us morally, or is a degree strictly about the acquisition of skills and the formation of professional resumes and networks? Hear from thoughtful undergraduate students from Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, and Piedmont Community College discuss the place of the humanities in our lives today, followed by discussion with the panelists.

Hear three Duke alumni discuss the value of the humanities to both their professional and personal lives, with ample time for questions from the audience. Panelists include Dr. Liz Scott (class of 2012), an orthopedic surgeon in private practice, Dave Zorub (class of 1997), founder and managing partner of Parsifal Capital Management, and Father Timothy Kimbrough (class of 1979), an Episcopal priest and director of the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies and the Jack and Barbara Bovender Professor of the Practice of Anglican Studies in the Duke Divinity School.
