On Tuesday, March 27, the department hosted the second Inklings gathering of the semester. Dr. Patricia Shields, gave a talk on “How Jane Addams’ Ideas of Peace became Part of US Army War College (Parameters) Scholarship.” The talk was followed by a discussion with the faculty and graduate students.
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.
