The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is continuing its ?Lunch and Learn? series for on-campus faculty and staff, and especially for those who are supporting members of the Osher Institute. Join Dr. Omar Ali, Assistant Professor of History, for an enlightening and provocative hour. Dr. Ali will place Lincoln?s famous emancipation of 1863 within the broader struggles for freedom in the Americas, as well as draw parallels with other historical events.

Enjoy this hour with your colleagues and get to know more about the Osher Institute!
