The fourth-annual Humanities Undergraduate Research Symposium (HURS) will take place on April 4th, 2025 from 9:00am–5:30pm in the Humanities Institute Conference Room (Homer Babbidge Library, 4th floor).

The Humanities Undergraduate Research Symposium (HURS) celebrates the contributions of UConn’s undergraduate students to an ever-evolving dialogue of thought by providing a platform to share new knowledge and encourage the pursuit of advanced research in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.

This year’s symposium features students from a wide variety of majors—history, education, acting, sociology, biology, anthropology, english, and more. And their talks cover topics from the evolution of language, to the significance of maize found in archeological sites, to historical memory.

See the HURS website for a full schedule of talks.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all attendees and participants. The event will be followed by a reception with refreshments.
