Through Looking Forward @ Johns Hopkins, JHU’s most distinguished scholars are engaging the scholarly community by sharing cutting-edge scholarship during the COVID-19 shutdown. The series builds intellectual and social bridges to fill gaps left during this time of physical social distancing, and excite the scholarly community to bring new ideas back to campus with them when our campuses fully re-open.
During Looking Forward, a distinguished scholar from the university will give a talk presenting their research, followed by time for questions.
