Urban Seminar: The Cultural City

Cultural images of Boston range from its venerable arts and music institutions to the seamy underworld portrayed in the film The Departed. As in many cities, these polar extremes mask a rich spectrum of urban cultures.

We are pleased to announce that Rebecca Ostriker, Arts Editor for the Boston Globe, will be joining our panel featuring Associate Professor Charles Merzbacher (Film, College of Communication) and Professor Merry White (Anthropology, College of Arts & Sciences). The Cultural City panel will explore the diversity and dynamism of culture in Boston and other cities, from neighborhood cultures to food, theatre, film, music, literature, and museums.

Can’t attend? The Panel will be broadcast live online via livestream beginning at 12:30pm on Tuesday April 7th. Click here for more details.
