Grace Farms Lectures with Concert | Dr. Danielle Allen

Harvard political philosopher Dr. Danielle Allen speaks in the Grace Farms Sanctuary for the Lectures with Concert series. She traces a line from the American founding to the present and asks how the original vision of the Declaration of Independence can still serve us while we recognize and fix its flaws. Allen is James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard and director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at the Harvard Kennedy School. She won the Library of Congress Kluge Prize in 2020. After the talk, musicians perform a chamber music program that responds to her work. Grace Farms Artist-in-Residence Arlen Hlusko curated the program. A separate workshop, Teaching Democratic Discussion Skills, runs before the lecture.
