Each year, Arts & Sciences invites distinguished speakers to share their research and expertise with our students, alumni, and friends. The Arts & Sciences Lecture Series comprises three endowed lectures: the Gitner Family CAS Lecture; the Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture; and the Annual Silas Peirce Lecture.
-
- The Gerald and Deanne Gitner Family CAS Lecture profiles a CAS faculty member in any field.
- The Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture was established in 2008 to be a stimulating and energizing memorial to the progressive political values Professor Howard Zinn embodied as a writer, teacher, and mentor.
- The annual Silas Pierce Lecture is open to all fields of inquiry covered in the College of Arts & Sciences, and is designed to represent different fields across the years
Members of the College community are invited to submit nominations for the Arts & Sciences Lecture Series for Academic Year 2023/2024. More information about each lecture can be found here. Nominations are due by May 5 and can be submitted to Abby Baldwin at abaldwin@bu.edu.
