Friends of the University of New Haven Library: Dr.Williams: 'The Humanities: Does The Past Matter?'

This video is from the University of New Haven's "Friends of the University of New Haven Library" speaker series. This discussion from April 15, 2009 features Dr. Brenda R. Williams, and was entitled "The Humanities: Does the Past Matter?".

Why do the humanities matter? How can they continue to matter using the new technologies? How will the Connecticut Humanities Council continue to use the literary, historical, and cultural past to help us make informed decisions about the future? In this lecture, chairman of the board of directors at the Connecticut Humanities Council Dr. Brenda R. Williams discusses the roles of the Council and how the past is important personally rather than theoretically.
