The Suzy Newhouse Center for the Humanities

The Newhouse Center is honored to present the New Voices Series, lunchtime talks focused on early career scholars who are pioneering new approaches to humanities-centered research and critical Ethnic Studies. 

In honor of Black Speculative Fiction Month, Newhouse Creative Writing Professor Yvette Ndlovu moderates a reading and conversation with authors P. Djèlí Clark and Hugh "H.D." Hunter.

The Voynich Manuscript has intrigued, mystified, and frustrated linguists and cryptologists for centuries. Is it a code? A lost language? Or is it a hoax perpetrated on the world by a fifteenth-century prankster or modern forger?

Genevieve Clutario and Jeanne Jalandoni discuss how their research on Filipinx histories of beauty, the body, materiality, and labor shapes their practices in tracing connections and intimacies across the Filipinx diaspora. 

The first event in the Suzy Newhouse Center's yearlong YA literature series. Bestselling author Aiden Thomas (Cemetery Boys, The Sunbearer Trials) comes to Wellesley for a reading and conversation with the community.
