 Since
the founding of Harvard College in 1636, 16 years after the arrival of
the first Pilgrims at Plymouth, Boston has been a hub of scholarship,
education,
and the life of the mind. 100 years ago the intellectually curious
Bostonian
could have witnessed public addresses by William James, Theodore
Roosevelt,
W. E. B. DuBois, Jane Addams, or Charles and Mary Beard. Indeed,
little has changed. Today one can hear talks by any number of
scholars
and public figures—ranging from bell hooks, Elie Wiesel, John
Lukacs,
Bill Clinton, or John Milbank—at the dozens of colleges, universities,
libraries, and other venues in the area. Every day there are
wonderful
opportunities to attend public lectures in the Boston area. Many
of these lectures are free, delivered by the most renown thinkers and
leaders
of our day. The events listed below are a sampling of some of the
hundreds presented in the Boston vicinity in 2006-07. ENC history
majors are strongly encouraged to attend some of these provocative and
enriching lectures and public forums.
