Three days after the national election, Duke historian Adriane D. Lentz-Smith stood in front of nearly 300 people at the Hayti Heritage Center. Like the audience, she was looking to Rev. William J. Barber II, the national civil rights leader and one of the country’s leading theologians, to help her process her complex feelings about the election’s outcome.
The celebrated theologian and distinguished historian participated in a riveting 70-minute conversation as part of the Kenan Institute’s Ethics of Now Series, which Lentz-Smith has hosted since 2018.
Following two years of work by the Trinity Curriculum Development Committee, the Arts & Sciences Council adopted a new curriculum that will take effect in Fall 2025. The A&S curriculum governs much of undergraduate education at Duke and the changes will speak to the interests and needs of our students in the coming decades.
