Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University

The Lowell Institute supports lectures at Ford Hall Forum, the nation’s oldest continuously operating free public lecture series. The Forum’s mission is to foster an informed and effective citizenry and to promote freedom of speech through the public presentation of lectures, debates and discussions. The Forum events illuminate the key issues facing our society by bringing to its podium knowledgeable and thought-provoking speakers, including some of the most controversial opinion leaders of our times. These speakers are presented in person, for free, and in settings that facilitate frank and open debate.
