Semiotics & Culture Speaker Series (March 2026)

Thank you to everyone who joined us throughout March at the Semiotics & Culture Speakers Series!

Languages, Literatures and Literatures' very own Dr. Hongbing Yu and Dr. Dana Osborne launched a brand new speaker series in March 2026.

This year's theme was "Meaning-making across language, culture, and media". The three-part speaker series was presented with the kind support of the Faculty of Arts Events and Outreach Fund and the department.
