Audience note: This event is open to everyone.
Covid safety information: UIC does not require masking, but we are still masking in our events as an accessibility measure for chronically ill / immunocompromised people and those living interdependently with them. Please wear a mask if it is accessible for you. We’ll have extras on hand. People may be sipping/eating and then replacing their masks. Zoom is another Covid-cautious option.
Access information: CART (live captions) and ASL interpretation will be provided. The Institute for the Humanities is a physically accessible space on the first floor, equipped with two accessible, all-gender restrooms.
