- **Event Description**: In conjunction with our 25–26 Forum on Truth, this symposium engages experts in an exploration of truth(s) contested or revealed in crises.About this EventIn conjunction with the Wolf Humanities Center’s 2025–2026 Forum on Truth, this interdisciplinary symposium engages experts in an exploration of truth(s) contested or revealed in crises across panels on (1) Institutions of Learning, (2) Land and its Technologies, and (3) Borders. In the framing, we take our cue from Sara Ahmed (2010), who understands crisis, perceived and described, as constructed; a crisis necessitates the identification and defense of shared norms and values, a world and its inhabitants, against that which threatens. The articulation of crisis thus reveals and contests truth(s) that are, by presentation, matters of survival. Held at the University of Pennsylvania’s Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, this one-day symposium will begin with a highly anticipated keynote featuring Dr. Althea Wasow from University of California, Santa Barbara. The day's discussions will bring together scholars from various disciplines to expand upon questions of crisis, its meanings and manifestations in the modern and contemporary world, and the role of truth in surviving.For more info, visit https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/truth-crisisSymposium Agenda8:30 am–9:20 amBreakfast9:20 am–9:30 amWelcome Remarks, Director, Wolf Humanities Center; Professor, Department of East Asian Languages &amp; Civilizations, Topic Director, Forum on Truth, Wolf Humanities Center; Associate Professor of Russian and East European Studies9:30 am–10:45 amKeynoteModerated by Jennifer Sierra, Andrew W.
