Massachusetts School of Law is inviting writers and scholars who publish in
the fields of history, current events and international
affairs to come to the school and speak about
their work.
School officials believe that conversations among
authors, students and faculty, and members of
the public will be an important part of the intellectual
climate to be found north of Boston.
Each event will feature a presentation by the
author, followed by a period of discussion and
a question and answer session. For those interested
in attending these presentations, admission is
free and no reservations are required. Through
an arrangement with the Andover Bookstore, books
will be for sale at each event, and the authors
will sign copies.
"Massachusetts School of Law is offering
this series because it is not only a law school,
but also a major intellectual center for the Merrimack
Valley,” said Lawrence R. Velvel, the school’s
founding dean. “Its award winning television programs
on major societal topics and important books,
its many internet ‘publications,’ its forthcoming
series of conferences on crucial topics like presidential
power and changes in economic thinking, and its
new series of presentations by the authors of
important books are all part of the school’s effort
to present major intellectual events for the Merrimack
Valley.” “We are thrilled to be working with the
Massachusetts School of Law on this great new
book event series,” said John Hugo, manager of
the Andover Bookstore. “The Andover Bookstore
has been serving the local community for over
200 years. These new events are a fine continuation
of that service.”
