In June, the university hosted academic discussions, including "Critical Times 2026: Bodies" on June 27, which explored the extensive writings and theories on the body, referencing works by Judith Butler, bell hooks, and Susan Bordo, as initially provoked by Caroline Bynum in the mid-1990s. Earlier in June, on June 6, an event discussed the "humanities world," drawing on Simon During's "Humanities Theory" (2025 with Amanda Anderson), which maps a loosely linked "conglomeration of practices, interests, comportments, personae, offices, moods, purposes, and values" across various settings and disciplines. This follows the 13th Symposium on Behavioral Neurology and 2nd Symposium on Cognition and Behavior on May 31, 2026, which brought together experts to explore white matter (dys)connections, autism, and apathy through keynote lectures, interdisciplinary case discussions, and a dedicated "Young Minds" session.
