##  What are HL10 Lectures? 

HIST-LIT 10 Lectures are introductions to the interdisciplinary humanities taught by members of our [Tutorial Board](https://histlit.fas.harvard.edu/tutorial-board-0) and [Committee on Degrees](https://histlit.fas.harvard.edu/committee-degrees-0). First-year students and sophomores interested in History & Literature are encouraged to take HL10 Lectures to get to know the concentration. These courses can be used to satisfy distribution requirements in History & Literature, and students have the option to count one HL10 or HL90 on any topic for concentration credit regardless of field. HL10: Introduction to Cultural Studies may be counted toward the Sophomore Tutorial requirement.
