Stephen Jay Gould will speak at Agnes Scott College
A brilliant interpreter of science and its complex social consequences, Stephen Jay Gould is one of the few distinguished intellectuals whose lectures draw pop-star size audiences. His challenging presentations cover a broad range of controversial subject matter, from the scientific argument for racial equality to theories on the nature of excellence to mankind's amazing origins.
Gould, author of more than 200 consecutive essays for his Natural History Magazine column "This View of Life," is also a contributor to Discover Magazine. He has been recognized with prestigious awards including the MacArthur Foundation Prize Fellowship, Silver National Medal of the Zoological Society of London and the Edinburgh Medal. In 1981 he received the American Book Award for The Panda's Thumb and the National Book Critic's Circle Award for The Mismeasure of Man.
