In 1891, thirty-five scholars gathered to form a community in a new university. In that spirit, we come together to welcome new senior faculty members of the community in 2020.
Speakers will present current research that reflects the shape of their thought. Following the lecture there will be a Q&A session and reception.
Join us for the inaugural lecture in this series.
