2023-2024 Lectures Series
The Wolters Centre Lectures take place two to three times a year, and provide an opportunity for each faculty fellow to host a scholar of their choice to visit, lecture, and discuss their work on campus. These free public lectures highlight speakers who are suited to speak to a broad community audience, and who also have expertise in applying the Reformed scholarly tradition to their subject area. Annual lectures are rooted in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics, respectively.
