On Tuesday, March 6, the Department of Political Science hosted the first Inklings gathering of the semester. Dr. Jennifer Lamm, gave a talk on “Puerto Ricans and U.S. Citizenship in 1917: Imperatives of Security.” The talk was followed by a discussion with the faculty and graduate students in attendance.
The department’s “Inklings” gatherings take their name from a small group of intellectuals (whose ranks included J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis) who met weekly at Oxford University in the early and middle decades of the 20th century to read aloud and discuss their works in progress.
