Every fall and spring, Penn Arts and Sciences faculty members manage to squeeze a wealth of knowledge and discovery into just one minute. Topics range from human history to fractions to fly-fishing.
Kicking things off this fall was Charles Loeffler, Jerry Lee Assistant Professor of Criminology, with his talk, “When Does a Child Become an Adult?” Loeffler made his presentation from underneath an umbrella in the Series’ first rain day. Other lecturers this fall included Campbell Grey, Associate Professor of Classical Studies, with his presentation, “Why Do We Walk Where We Walk? A Meditation on Movement, Meaning, and Agency,” and Meredith Tamminga, Assistant Professor of Linguistics, who presented on “Changing Sounds and Changing Signs in Philadelphia Dialects.”
