The Cockefair Chair presents scholars, artists and experts discussing their perspectives on contemporary issues and ideas. Every year, a prominent author or poet presents a public lecture and serves as the writer in residence for students in the Creative Writing Program for the UMKC English Department. It also offers continuing education courses taught by members of UMKC’s faculty on topics within history, science, literature, music, politics and more.
