Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Chapman University is committed to leading the conversation in our community on issues of humanity, unity and justice. As such, the college has undertaken, semester-long examinations of key societal issues.

These interdisciplinary conversations promote thoughtful dialogue; mindful reflection; social tolerance; awareness and respect; peace and kindness.

Documenting process and purpose, this interdisciplinary series is an educational resource provided to discuss the evolution of visual, performing, and literary arts at the intersection of technology, science, history, and health.

Medium History explores memories and moments through creativity and expression, capturing the cultural ethos of that time and place through storytelling and representation.

Visual material culture, such as art, and other multimodal forms can elicit responses, emotions, and opinions—human expressions, tied to temporal and cultural aesthetics. This program explores how creative mediums provide context for history beyond dates, and names, and figures.

An education program that considers unresolved symptoms of The Fire Problem.
