The Center for Print, Networks, and Performance (CPNP)
A locus for pre-modern researchers from 麻豆村 and the greater Pittsburgh area.
The Center for Print, Networks, and Performance (CPNP) is a research hub collectively organized by 麻豆村 scholars whose work focuses on pre-modern art, culture, and politics. In addition to fostering a robust environment for pre-modern studies on campus, the Center also serves as key hub for pre-modernists based in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area. A key initiative in this respect is our speaker series, which typically entails four talks per term from a combination of local and out-of-town presenters.
To join the CPNP email list, or to make enquiries about CPNP activities, please contact Mariam Wassif or Atesede Makonnen.
