The Center for the Humanities is pleased to announce the winners of the Dr. Hum “Ask Me Anything” Contest. In each episode, the Dr. Hum video blog series invites a new Dr. Hum, or humanities professor, to answer YOUR questions about the humanities. This October, Dr. Hum will release responses to our top contest winners on Instagram (@nsu_humanities) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9CTeRtfL0UYGf2fX3ANGLA). The first video, set to release October 2, will address Meroshah Khan’s “Most Timely Question”! Look out for more Dr. Hum videos in late October.
While the contest is over, we are still welcoming questions. Submit your questions about anything ‘humanities’ to humanities@nova.edu. All students of all majors welcome.
