University of Kentucky professor speaks on campus Tuesday

In celebration of Constitution Day and the inauguration of the university’s William Penn Honors Program, George Fox will host Jane Calvert, associate professor of history at the University of Kentucky, for a presentation at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, in Hoover 105. The event is free, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Calvert will present “Quakerism, John Dickinson, and the Creation of America’s Two Constitutions.” Drawing from her book, Quaker Constitutionalism and the Political Thought of John Dickinson, Calvert argues that Quaker political ideas had a significant but generally unrecognized influence on the creation of the American republic.
