Humanities Fridays are one-hour Zoom webinar presentations scheduled at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Chamorro Standard Time) on each Friday in October and featuring a range of humanities topics.
“We reached out to various groups and individuals who are either doing the humanities or have made the effort to study an issue or topic that has some relevance to our community,” said Robert Torres, council chairman. “Humanities Fridays is our way of starting conversations that we hope will inspire reflection, push the boundaries of our collective imagination and create new ways to express interests and experiences within our diverse communities.”
