The Page-Barbour Lectures, founded in 1907, are aimed at bringing fresh understanding to any field in the arts and sciences. Past lecturers have included President William Howard Taft, poets T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, philosopher John Dewey, journalist Walter Lippman, psychologist B.F. Skinner and psychiatrist Robert Coles. We are delighted to have Maurice Godelier among the list of our distinguished speakers, and hope you will join us for this special series.
