Originated in 1953, Brown and Haley became the first fully endowed lectureship in the history of Puget Sound in 1981. The lectures are intended to make significant contributions to the understanding of urgent problems confronting society, emphasizing perspectives in the social sciences or humanities. Brown & Haley Lecture Series invites emerging scholars to offer two lectures who can speak to two or more fields during their two-day residency.

This year, we have Jules Gill-Peterson, award-winning historian and Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University, to present on two topics: "Neo-liberalizing Medical Transition in the 1970s" and "The Gentrification of Transition into Art and Theory, 1980-1990s." There will also be a book reception for her book, A Short History of Trans Misogyny.
