THE ANNUAL LEPAGE SERIES
2026 - 2027 Theme: "What is history in the public interest?"
Each year, the Lepage Center presents a series of virtual and in-person events centered on a timely theme of public interest featuring voices across the humanities and social sciences. In addition to stand-alone events, during the 2026-2027 academic year, we're returning to our roots with a fundamental question: what does it mean to pursue history in the public interest?
