FREE Speaker At Swarthmore College

Renowned political scientist and author Robert Putnam will speak at Swarthmore College, 4:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 28 in the Lang Performing Arts Center’s Pearson-Hall Theatre. The event is free and open to the public.
Putnam has written a dozen books, translated into 17 languages, including the best-selling "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community," and more recently Better Together: Restoring the American Community, a study of promising new forms of social connectedness. His previous book, Making Democracy Work, was praised by the Economist as "a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto and Weber." 
Putnam graduated from Swarthmore in 1963 with highest honors..
