The Campbell Lecture Series

The Campbell Lecture Series is supported by a gift from T.C. Campbell, '34 through the Campbell Fund. Each year the Campbell Lecture Series brings a distinguished humanities scholar to campus to gives lectures on a topic of broad humanistic interest. Through a special arrangement with the University of Chicago Press, the lectures are later published as a book. Previous Campbell lecturers include Robert Pinsky (2005), Ha Jin (2006), Alix Ohlin (2007), Stephen Greenblatt (2008), James Cuno (2009), Zadie Smith (2010), Stanley Fish (2012) and Patrick Summers (2013).
