The purpose of this panel discussion was to display different perspectives on love from a variety of aca- demic fields. Van Winkle began the event by leading with opening re- marks, “Humanities are at the center of everything that we do. Humanities are all about who we are as humans. They’re about how we think, what we believe, the cultures that we live in, and that affects all of us regardless of our areas of study.” The guiding of the evening’s discussion was then transferred over to Dr. Shannon Toll, as- sistant professor in the English department, who specializes in Native American literature. Toll’s opening remarks con- Pictured left to right are panelists Ernesto Velasquez, Dustin Atlas and Kathleen Costales.
