GROVE CITY, Pa. – Dr. Michael Kazin, professor of history at Georgetown University, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 14 in Sticht Lecture Hall of the Hall of Arts and Letters on the Grove City College campus. The presentation, “The Gospel of William Jennings Bryan,” is sponsored by the Faith and Politics working group of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College and is free and open to the public.
Kazin is an expert in U.S. politics and social movements during the 19th and 20th centuries. He has held faculty positions at American University and Stanford University. In 1996, he served as John Adams Chair in American Studies at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He earned a bachelor’s degree in social studies from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in history from Stanford.
The author of numerous books, including “A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan,” Kazin is a frequent contributor to “The New York Times,” “The Washington Post,” “The Nation” and “The American Prospect.” He serves on the editorial board of “Dissent” magazine, which was founded by Irving Howe in 1954. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Woodrow Wilson Center, and is a two-time recipient of the Fulbright Scholar Program.
The Faith and Politics working group seeks to investigate, discuss, and write about the relationship between faith and various aspects of American and global politics, including the separation of church and state, civil religion, religion and elections, religion and the presidency, and the participation of religious groups in the political process.
