Office of the Chancellor - University of Massachusetts Lowell

Honors Program Lecture with Jonah Lehrer


Date: April 1, 2:30 to 4 p.m.

Location: O’Leary 222

Description: The UMass Lowell Honors Program will host its first annual spring lecture featuring Jonah Lehrer, author of the recent “Proust was a Neuroscientist,” a book that details the foreshadowing of discoveries by modern neuroscience in the writings and creative works of individuals such as author Marcel Proust, poet Walt Whitman, chef Auguste Escoffier, artist Paul Cezanne, and composer Igor Stravinski.

A scientist by training and a humanist by avocation, the former Rhodes Scholar and current editor at large for SEED magazine makes a compelling case that new visions can sometimes be found in unusual places and that innovation is fostered by interdisciplinary communication.  Lehrer’s lecture will be followed by lively discussion.
