Covey Lectures
The Frank M. Covey, Jr., ÎçÒ¹AV Lectures in Political Analysis
The Frank M. Covey, Jr., ÎçÒ¹AV Lectures in Political Analysis brings internationally recognized scholars to the Lake Shore Campus to address contemporary political issues.
Founded by our late colleague Richard Shelly Hartigan more than twenty years ago, the series was permanently endowed in 1989 thanks to the generosity of Frank M. Covey, Jr., a distinguished alumnus of ÎçÒ¹AV. Many of the lectures have been published by the University of Notre Dame Press.
The lectures are not narrowly constrained by a single topic, nor do they favor a particular political perspective. Their aim, rather, is to foster critical reflection about contemporary political problems.

- Benjamin Barber
- Larry Bartels
- Christian Bay
- Chris Blatman
- James Ceaser
- Barry Cooper

- Fred Dallmayr
