Anna Quindlen, Pulitzer prize-winner and best-selling author, has accepted our invitation to be the Carol Medine Moss Keynote Lecturer.

Dr. Cornel West, Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, will deliver the JASNA North American Scholar Lecture, focusing on issues of “power.”

Sandy Lerner, co-founder of Cisco Systems and founder of Chawton House Library, will identify and analyze the importance of “money” in the novels —both wealth and poverty—as our third distinguished plenary speaker.
