Next Wednesday (April 11), the Society and Honors College will proudly play host to a prominent intellectual historian of our generation: J.G.A. Pocock, author of Ancient Constitution and the Feudal Law, Machiavellian Moment, and a multi-volume work on Edward Gibbon. An emeritus professor at Johns Hopkins, Pocock is noted for developing a novel approach to the study of history often referred to as the Cambridge School of intellectual history. His work encompasses a broad range of intellectual endeavors, including not only history, but also political science, philosophy, and literature. Professor Pocock will lecture at 602 Cathedral of Learning at 4:00 PM, and we'd love for you to come along and help Pitt show its support for history as an intellectual exercise.
