Mar 31, 2025 We Recommend – Power of the Page

In partnership with Tanner Humanities Center and the J. Willard Marriott Library, join us for a one-day symposium exploring the dynamic intersections of book history.   

Through three engaging sessions, scholars and practitioners will delve into how books have served as acts of defiance, how printing technologies have reshaped communication, and how materiality influences meaning and reception.
