Announcing our Winter 2019 Lecture Series
The Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University is excited to announce the participants for its Winter Lecture Series.
Lectures are open to the public and stream live online on YouTube and Facebook. Past lectures can be viewed at the Redd Center YouTube Channel. We encourage educators to consider including one or many of these events in course syllabi, asking student to watch live, participate live in Q&A by sending questions in via Twitter or Facebook, or use the lecture videos as the launching point for a writing assignment or extra credit.
Lecture titles are tentative and room locations are tentative. Updates will be posted on the individual Facebook Event page (linked below).
