Wednesdays at the Center (WATC) is a topical weekly noontime series in which distinguished scholars, artists, journalists, and others speak informally about their work in conversation with those who attend. Presented by Duke University’s John Hope Franklin Center and the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute, all events in the series are free and open to the public. A light lunch is served. No reservations are necessary, and vouchers to cover parking costs in the Duke Medical Center parking decks are provided.

WATC is held most Wednesdays during the academic year, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, in Room 240, John Hope Franklin Center. To view a listing of all Wednesdays at the Program this Fall, click here.
