Ready to Resume Our Conversation?


Introducing the Facing History Fall Seminar Series

This fall, Tim returns to the classroom, bringing the ideas and questions that have shaped more than four decades of his teaching into a live, conversational setting. Come ready for history, ideas, questions, and a lively exchange of perspectives. For former students, it's an opportunity to return to a familiar experience. For everyone else, it's an invitation to join us for the first time.

Three distinct seminars are available this fall, both in person and online.
