Join the Concord Museum and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association for the first annual Robert D. Richardson III Lecture to mark Emerson’s birthday featuring author and philosopher, Richard Geldard. Dr. Geldard, the author of a number of studies of Emerson, will provide opening remarks and then engage in a conversation with Concord Museum Director, Tom Putnam. As we reconsider Emerson’s role in the birth of Idealism, the ensuing conversation will also prompt consideration of what sort of country will emerge from this pandemic, what values will support our recovery, and what knowledge of ourselves as a nation is most essential to that effort.

Please join us for this virtual Concord Museum Forum.
