Schools in the United States and around the world have largely succeeded in one respect: IQs rose 30 points during the 20th century. Yet, in many respects, the world is in a more perilous state now than it was in 1900. Autocrats are on the rise, and economic inequality is soaring. Pollution, climate change, and antibiotic resistance threaten our lives and health. How did this situation come to be? One reason is that schools are failing our children and society…

Lecture by Kim Sajet, Director, National Portrait Gallery There are three people and a world of ideas involved in a portrait.

The 40th Anniversary of the Paul Gottschalk Memorial Lecture by Suzanne Akbari “Chaucer’s Periodization” Thursday, February 28, 4:30 p.m. Guerlac Room, A.D. White House To talk about “Chaucer’s periodization” often means to ask how we ourselves think of Chaucer: as a quintessentially “medieval” poet, or as a harbinger of the “modern.” Instead, this lecture explores how Chaucer and his contemporaries saw their own place in time, focusing on the House of Fame, the Knight’s Tale, the Man of Law’s Tale,…
