> what is IPRH?

Thanks for asking! I looked it up and found the following:

IPRH is Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities.
It is located at 805 W. Pennsylvania, Urbana.

The IPRH is a division of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at
the University of Illinois.

Along with research, IPRH organizes lectures, symposia, films, and
other events during the year that are free and open to the public, and
designed to stimulate conversations and scholarship on a wide variety
of humanistic topics.

For instance, they showed the film "The Lord Is Not on Trial Here
Today" October 6th.
