About Focus Month:

Each semester, Aesthetics of Research addresses a portion of our programming to a particular genre, art form, movement, or special topic of interest via exhibits, displays, workshops, readings, lectures, panel discussions, and other activities. Focus topics reinforce the Library as a place of creative conversation and inquiry, bringing art and scholarship together, as well as exploring available resources in the Library, on campus, and in the greater Chicago community.
