Aims to expand our understanding of the institutions in which we work and in which most of the intellectual labor of the world is conducted or supported. The seminar will host talks and events that present research and foster discussion about universities and other institutions of higher education. Our scope is large, encompassing explorations of the past, examinations of current issues, and informed speculation about the future. Visit our seminar's [website](http://universities-pastpresentfuture.mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/) to learn more.
