Fall 2025 WLC Connects Lecture

The WLC Connects Speaker Series is an annual event in the Department of World Languages and Cultures. With support from ISU lectures and other campus units, the WLC Research Committee invites an external speaker whose work connects to two or more WLC faculty members’ research. Two WLC faculty members give brief introductions prior to the visiting scholar’s talk that links the themes and ideas being presented to their own work. The speaker series shows out students and campus community how WLC faculty’s interdisciplinary interests connect on various levels and across different fields.
