Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute

Thank you again to for being our wonderful featured speaker for this year's Rights and the Humanities event! Krug spoke beautifully about her work on memory, identity, and human stories in the midst of atrocity, themes that perfectly complement our ongoing programming and conversations this year. We were excited to have a wonderful mix of students, faculty, staff, and community members in the audience for her lecture, which was a testament to Krug's work and her ability to draw a diverse crowd!
