Welcome...

 

We welcome you to the website of The Episteme Lectures. This website will take you through the ins and outs of the premier academic lecture series for secondary students.

"I hope that it will be an important series, because I think that lively, down-to-earth, non-pompous, jargon-free discussions of complex, controversial ideas are very important for any society's health, and I think that having a series of such lectures in a high school is a great way to stir up people's minds, especially those of young people." - Dr. Douglas R. Hofstadter, The Episteme Lectures inaugural speaker.
