Established in 2002, Wednesdays at the Center (W@TC) is a unique consortium of programs committed to revitalizing notions of how knowledge is gained and exchanged.
Participants from a broad range of disciplines converge to explore intellectual issues, including some of the most pressing social and political themes of our time: race and race relations, the legacy of the African American experience, equality and opportunity among diverse populations, and the implications of accelerated globalization.
Inspired by the example of John Hope Franklin – Duke professor emeritus, historian, intellectual leader, and life-long civil rights activist—the Franklin Center fosters fresh approaches to scholarship and learning while offering stimulating opportunities to the larger community.
The series is organized and presented by the John Hope Franklin Center with the support of partner organizations.
All events in the series are free and open to the public. Lunch is served at each event.
