The Edith Bleich Speaker Series honors Edith Bleich, an alumna of UM who taught for 52 years in Miami-Dade schools, and was a lifelong student of history and the humanities. The Series will bring a notable scholar to the Center annually for public lectures on the topic of history broadly taken — including art history and history of science; as well as literature, religion, political thought, and other humanities topics with an emphasis on the historical understanding of these topics.

The BookTalks series introduces our humanities faculty and their research to colleagues at UM and at other universities, as well as the general public.

Whenever possible, audio recordings are made available on the website for those who cannot attend in person.
