Each year, CAHI brings distinguished artists, scholars, and writers to IU Bloomington to share their work. Past speakers have included Margaret Atwood, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Roxane Gay, Juan Felipe Herrera, George Saunders, and more.
CAHI is delighted to present award-winning poet, memoirist, human rights activist, and translator Carolyn Forché at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Forché will read from her recent work and sit down with Distinguished Professor Jeffrey Gould for an on-stage conversation and Q&A. A book signing will follow. This event is free and open to the public.
In Spring 2022, CAHI will present Saidiya Hartman, scholar of African American literature and cultural history whose works explore the afterlife of slavery in modern American society. Hartman will give a public lecture on her work, followed by an on-stage conversation, audience Q&A, and book signing.
