Ada Palmer to Deliver Nuveen Lecture
September 15, 2023
The Divinity School is pleased to announce that Ada Palmer, Associate Professor of Early Modern European History, will deliver the 2023 Nuveen Lecture. Her lecture will be entitled "Why We Censor, from the Inquisition to the Internet."
Palmer’s work in intellectual history explores how history and thought shape each other over time. She focuses on the Italian Renaissance, a time when ideas about science, religion, and the world that had developed in the Middle Ages met those of the ancient world, reconstructed from rediscovered sources.
