In this inaugural episode, Michael Borshuk, Director of the Humanities Center at Texas Tech, introduces you to the Center and its mission by previewing our scholarly theme for 2020-2021: Forests. We hear from our theme programmers, Bruce Clarke, Sara Spurgeon, Curtis Bauer, and Christopher Witmore as they discuss different academic perspectives on forests and what those natural environments help us understand about being human. Finally, we meet the Humanities Center's new Post-Doctoral Fellow, Katie Magaña, who tells us about her research and what she will be working on at Texas Tech this year.
