the stanton sharp
      lecture series
                2005-06

   
 
The theme of the Sharp Lecture Series for 2006 will be "Science and Society." 

On Thursday, February 16, at 6 p.m., Robert Richards of the University of Chicago will speak on Charles Darwin, and later in the semester Martin Sherwin of Tufts University will follow with a talk on J. Robert Oppenheimer.

This series is designed to enhance our understanding of the great explanatory theories of contemporary science, our appreciation of the thinkers who developed them, and our perceptions of the tremendous consequences that have helped to shape the human condition at the start of the twentieth-first century.
