The University Lecture was established in 1950 to honor members of the Boston University faculty engaged in outstanding research and creative pursuits. University Lecturers represent a vast array of disciplines and research topics, yet they share a common commitment to excellence in scholarly inquiry and discovery. Presented each fall, the annual lecture provides an opportunity to highlight the work of a distinguished scholar and engage both the University community and the broader public in the vibrant intellectual life of Boston University.<\/p>\n
Each spring, all members of the faculty are invited to make nominations for the subsequent year\u2019s lecturer to the University Lecture Committee. The selection process for the lecture is designed to seek the input of a broad cross section of the University community.<\/p>\n
