  • Summary

  • Things change, norms shift, and even the language we use alters with time.

    But despite being commonplace, change isn't always easy. This month we'll listen to David Skinner -- editor of Humanities magazine and formerly of The Weekly Standard -- deliver a 2012 lecture on how a crisis among the literary classes was sparked by a change...in a dictionary.

    Change also comes to the Bradley Lectures Podcast itself. We're a month off our normal schedule, in part because of changes we hope to bring to our episodes and guests in the near future. To stay up to date on these plans, follow us on twitter @BradleyLectures or subscribe to our newsletter here.
