The 60-Second Lectures have been a Penn Arts & Sciences tradition since 2003. Each spring and fall, the School’s faculty take a minute to share their perspectives on a variety of topics ranging from the Constitution to intracellular landfills to what makes a poem a poem.
As the world faces unprecedented challenges, the series has provided scholars with an opportunity to share insight and expertise on the global COVID-19 pandemic, the enduring legacy of racism, and the ever-present threat of climate change.
