On Thursday October 10, 2013 from 12:00 noon until 1:30 p.m., the Miller Center is hosting a lunch colloquium by Professor Louis Galambos titled "The Creative Society--Is the Price Still Right?"
Louis Galambos researches American creativity and the role professionals have played in enabling the United States to solve (or not to solve) its problems at home and abroad in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Cambridge University Press published his book of historical essays, The Creative Society – and the Price Americans Paid for It, in January 2012. At Johns Hopkins University, Galambos is a Professor of History; Editor, The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower; and Co-Director of the Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise.
Lunch will be provided. If you plan on attending, please send an rsvp to millercenter@umd.edu so that we may estimate head-count. Thanks!
