online programs, postponements, and cancelations

Dear friends,

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and evacuations from major universities in New York, our programming for the rest of this semester will be either postponed, canceled, or moved online. We hope to resume physical meetings as soon as prudence allows.

Morningside was founded to help students engage in humanistic inquiry in a spirit of intellectual friendship. In the coming days, we will explore what that can look like in a time of remote courses and more solitary learning.

In the meantime, you can find more details about our upcoming online seminars and postponed events below.
