60-Second Lectures | How Old Is Language?
Benjamin Franklin Statue outside of College Hall
A Penn Arts & Sciences tradition since 2003, the 60-Second Lectures returns this fall to the College Green!
Every fall and spring, you can find the School’s faculty on the College Green tasking a minute to share their perspectives on a wide range of topics and interests.
Join us on Wednesday, September 3 as Gareth Roberts, Associate Professor of Linguistics, kicks off the fall season with the question, How old is language?
Can’t make it to the lecture? We got you covered! Watch a recording of the lecture on Facebook or Instagram @PennSAS the day after.
The 60-Second Lectures is generously funded by the Adolf and Felicia Leon Fund, which supports Penn Arts & Sciences programming and lecture series.
