The Jackman Humanities Institute Program for the Arts supports a range of events from small to large designed to enhance, improve and raise the profile of the Arts at the University of Toronto. Activities may include visitors, lecture series, symposia, exhibitions, performances, or other imaginative and arts initiatives, which will serve to foster the work of the Jackman Humanities Institute and to represent the leading scholarship of the humanities at the University of Toronto. Each year there will be a priority for at least one event that engages the wider public. The Program gives priority to activities that range across multiple units and across more than one campus. The Program also prefers activities that are related to the coming year's annual theme but will consider proposals with other foci.
This year's events relate to the annual theme—Labour. Dates are approximate and subject to change. For up to date information on events follow us on Twitter or Facebook, subscribe to our newsletter or check our Events section.
