The Robert H. Litowitz Lecture Series

The Robert H. Litowitz lecture series was established in honor of Robert Litowitz, a young scholar at the Divinity School in the late 1980s, who pursued questions about public ethics and policy that cross disciplines and that bridge religious traditions and diverse cultures. When he was diagnosed with cancer in 1989 (while still a student at Yale), he established a charitable trust whose aim would be to support interdisciplinary research, teaching, scholarships in ethics and social policy. This lecture series represents some of the fruits of his concerns.
