Macalester-Groveland, St. Paul
Political Science Department, Macalester College
Theodore Mitau Lecture
An annual political science lecture Macalester has hosted since 1979, named for the professor who helped build the department. Each year it brings in a notable thinker to dig into a current question in politics, and recent installments have ranged across topics like capitalism and the politics of nature. It is a good fit if you like substantive, idea-driven talks in an intimate college setting.
