FSU’s Institute for Governance and Civics guest speaker to make ‘The Case for Black American Patriotism’
NOTE: Updated with information about rescheduled event.
The Institute for Governance and Civics (IGC) at Florida State University will host an evening with Glenn Loury, one of the most influential voices on race and education in America.
Loury’s talk, originally set for Jan. 23 and rescheduled due to snow, complements a robust lineup of guest speakers that the newly created IGC is hosting this spring. Established in 2023 by the Florida Legislature, the IGC aims to advance civic literacy and engagement through rigorous research, education and public discourse on America’s founding principles.
The event will take place at 6 p.m. Monday, April 7, at Club Downunder, 75 N. Woodward Ave. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be available. The lecture will start at 6 p.m., followed by a Q&A at 6:35 p.m.
“At the Institute for Governance and Civics, we are committed to fostering meaningful dialogue on the issues that shape our society,” said Ryan Owens, director of the Institute for Governance and Civics. “We are honored to welcome Dr. Glenn Loury to campus to discuss ‘The Case for Black American Patriotism.’ His insightful perspective will offer our community an opportunity to engage with one of the nation’s foremost scholars. This conversation will deepen our understanding of patriotism and its relevance to all Americans.”
Loury, the Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences and Professor of Economics at Brown University and podcast host of The Glenn Show, will share his insights on “The Case for Black American Patriotism” and engage in a question-and-answer session surrounding Black American patriotism, education and the economy.
A well-known economist, academic and author, Loury has published in the areas of applied microeconomic theory, game theory, industrial organization, natural resource economics, and the economics of race and inequality.
The event is free and open to the public, but guests are asked to RSVP at fla.st/FFNZIOCX.
