| Perspectives on the Common Good Lecture Series
William Jewell College’s “Perspectives on the Common Good” lecture series focuses on themes of selfhood and responsibility, challenging listeners to explore the complexities of values in a pluralistic world. Through the generosity of several benefactors, William Jewell has created a distinctive lecture series that facilitates both internal and external community conversation about defining contemporary issues. All lectures are free and open to the public on the William Jewell campus in Liberty. See listings below for times and locations.
The Common Good Lectures are: The Binns Lecture on the Sacred & Secular and Power & Justice in Society; The Peggy Kern Lecture on Women and Society; The Cope Lecture on Science, Technology and the Human Experience; and the Gary Dickinson Lecture in Business Enterprise.
