Robert D. Clark Lecture in the Humanities
The Clark Lecture in the Humanities, established in 1994 with a gift from the Bowerman family, promotes "public discussion on the natural sciences, the history of Oregon, and the interface between science and social and cultural affairs, as exemplified by Thomas Condon, legendary frontier missionary, geologist, paleontologist, and founding member of the University of Oregon." Named for UO President emeritus Robert D. Clark, author of The Odyssey of Thomas Condon, this lectureship has brought to campus many outstanding writers and naturalists including David Rains Wallace, Chris Maser, Terry Tempest Williams, William Cronon, David Quammen, and Kathleen Dean Moore.
The 2008-09 Clark Lecturer, Sean B. Carroll, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Howard Hughes Medical Institution, University of Wisconsin, will speak on "Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species" at 7:30 p.m. in 150 Columbia Hall.
Part of the Darwin Bicentennial Lecture Series.
