    2009–2010 Penn Humanities Forum on Connections presents: Laura Otis, Professor of English, Emory University

    In the humanities, many scholars associate ideas with words, but as they hear from students in composition classes, thoughts suffer in the process of their “translation” into language. English Professor Laura Otis reviews some of the latest findings in cognitive science, philosophy, and literary studies to explain what thought is and whether people can make meaningful connections between its visual and verbal forms.
