New Bowe-Stewart Lecture Series
with University of Chicago Graham School
The Bowe-Stewart Lecture Series, in partnership with the University of Chicago Graham School, will explore historical and contemporary issues related to the development and sustenance of civic principles and participation.
The Graham School offers a one-of-a-kind intellectual community that brings the best of the University of Chicago to adult learners who are seeking discovery and discernment. Their offerings are inspired by a belief that the liberal arts should extend throughout one’s lifetime, enriching individuals and our society.
Peter Bowe and Barbara Stewart believe that civic education fosters a more accurate understanding of American history, leading to more engaged citizens. They are proud to sponsor this multi-year lecture series with the unique learning community at the Graham School as part of the Bowe Stewart Foundation’s work in civic education and civil dialogue.

The inaugural event will feature Presidential Historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin, who will lead an engaging discussion on the intersection of leadership, history, and civic responsibility. Her eighth book, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s, was published in 2024 to critical acclaim and debuted atop the New York Times best-sellers list.
