The University of Minnesota Spotlight Series is a collaborative partnership between the Institute for Advanced Study and Northrop to present conversations, performances, and exhibits around timely topics of interest throughout the academic year.
The 2024-25 series will focus on cosmic justice and include discussions about dharma, identity, and the role community plays in imagining a just society. Events may be attended in Northrop’s Best Buy Theater or online via Zoom. The series is free, open to the public, and Q&A sessions will follow each event.
The Spotlight Series is part of UMN Conversations at Northrop, a collection of lectures, panel discussions, and other conversations focused on important and timely issues presented in collaboration among numerous University of Minnesota departments and held at Northrop.
