Audience at Obermann Conversation at ICPL

UI scholars & artists in conversation with community experts

Obermann Conversations is an informal speaker series held at the Iowa City Public Library and occasional other locations. Once per month during fall and spring semesters, we feature work of faculty, staff, and students in conversation with thought leaders from our community. Learning from each other and delighting in the combined knowledge of academics and practitioners are the goals of this program.

The Iowa City Public Library co-sponsors this series.
