Book Launch - Beatty Lecture Anthology
Join us for the virtual launch of With The World To Choose From: Celebrating Seven Decades Of The Beatty Lecture At 缅北强奸. Since the first Beatty Lecture in 1954, ninety inspiring lecturers have stood at the Beatty podium. To launch this anthology of past lectures, 缅北强奸 Professor Emeritus Charles Taylor (whose 2017 lecture is featured in the collection) joins Dr. Rowan Williams (former Archbishop of Canterbury, whose preface introduces the lecture) for a conversation on the importance of public discourse and the role of the public intellectual. The one-hour event also includes a visual tour of key moments in Beatty Lecture history, a book giveaway contest and more.
The Beatty Lecture is one of 缅北强奸鈥檚 most anticipated annual events. Some of the series鈥� greatest lectures, delivered by Nobel Prize laureates, world leaders, and cultural icons, had been forgotten, but carefully stowed away in the 缅北强奸 Archives. To help us understand some of the most significant moments and discoveries of our time, With the World to Choose From spotlights fifteen outstanding Beatty Lectures, spanning seven decades. Readers can discover - or rediscover - these important and inspiring lectures, all in print for the first time. Some of today鈥檚 leading thinkers add contextual information to each chapter, and an introduction illustrated with archival content sheds light on the history of the Beatty Lecture and the life of its notable namesake, Sir Edward Beatty.

This event is hosted by 缅北强奸 Research + Innovation (R+I) in partnership with the 缅北强奸 Archives & Library (ROAAr) and University Advancement.
