Advanced Seminar Series Symposium - America: Idealism and Reality

Gilcrease Museum presents four scholarly perspectives on how American ideals were defined. Each analyzes how the country's citizenry supported the dream of progress that shaped what we have come to accept as a national identity. Speakers will show that America, both historic and contemporary, is a place of contradictions that requires a variety of public opinions and voices to keep its system of freedoms alive.

Presented as part of the programming for the exhibition America: Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of a Nation.

Scheduled symposium speakers include:

Taylor Stoermer, Ph.D.
Historian, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation/Brown University

Jeffrey Pasley, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of History, University of Missouri, Columbia

Brian Hosmer, Ph.D.
H.G. Barnard Associate Professor of Western History, University of Tulsa

Stephen Aron, Ph.D.
Professor of History, University of California, Los Angeles

The symposium is open to the public with paid museum admission. An optional luncheon buffet will be available for $15.00 per person.
