Date/Time TBD, 2025 at Samford University
Pride and Profit: Jane Austen & Adam Smith
We look forward to a lecture about Jane Austen and economics, which was something she was certainly familiar with according to poet W.H. Auden:
You could not shock her more than she shocks me;
Beside her Joyce seems innocent as grass.
It makes me most uncomfortable to see
An English spinster of the middle-class
Describe the amorous effects of ‘brass’,
Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety
The economic basis of society…

Also, look for fun game nights (or weekend afternoons) and other small programs throughout the year.
