About the Series
Consistent with its mission, St. Anthony Hall hosts a regular public lecture series for the Yale and New Haven community, throughout the academic year. The Hall seeks to promote the free exchange of diverse ideas by inviting a wide variety of individuals, who represent perspectives and opinions that might not otherwise be heard.
The Series is supported by a generous gift from the Isak and Rose Weinman Foundation.
