Social Science for the Common Good Lecture Series

We host an annual Social Science for the Common Good Lecture to open up dialogue and conversation on challenging, complex, controversial, but critically important social issues. Our goal is to shine social scientific light onto what are often deemed 鈥渄ivisive鈥� concepts and issues, which we see as a fundamental goal of the university. This lecture is open to the public.
