Lawrence Stone Lectures

The Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies announces the 2023 Lawrence Stone Lectures, co-sponsored by the Princeton University Press. The Center was founded by former chair of the History Department, Lawrence Stone (1919-91). Each year, the lecture series features Princeton’s Lawrence Stone Visiting Professor.
