The John Hope Franklin Center will soon be accepting proposals for collaborating partners for its Fall 2025 Wednesdays at the Center series.
Program Description
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 logistics and guest services. All events in the series are free and open to the public.
The series is hybrid (offered via Zoom) and in person in the John Hope Franklin Center.
Please view past W@TC events on our YouTube channel.
Format
Each series event is one hour long, running from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Speakers should prepare a 40-45 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 the Franklin Center’s YouTube channel.
Proposals
Proposals must be submitted online. The deadline will be announced soon. Questions can be directed to Rhiannon See (rhiannon.see@duke.edu) or Erin Dillard (erin.dillard@duke.edu).
