Not long ago, I established a fund at my alma mater, Wellesley College, to encourage the study of public education in the United States. The fund gives support to students for research and internships; many of them are preparing to teach. The most important public activity of the fund is to present an annual public lecture about public education. I gave the first lecture. The second annual Diane Silvers Ravitch 1960 Lecture will be given by the distinguished Finnish scholar Pasi Sahlberg.
If you live anywhere near Wellesley, which is near Boston, I hope you will attend.
The lecture will be October 13, 2016, at 7 pm at Alumnae Hall.
Pasi is a brilliant thinker and speaker. He spent the last two years teaching at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He has a broad and deep understanding of American education and international education.
I will be there, and I hope you will too.

Is this a lecture that will be recorded? Will it be available on-line?

Anne, yes, the lecture will be online within a day or so. Not live streamed.
Excellent. I will look it up but if you share the link once it is available, I would appreciate it.
Yes, I will post the link. Pasi is fabulous!
Thank-you, Anne Melgaard, for asking the question, and Diane, for letting us know the recording will be available. I really would like to see him but live a little too far.
