You have a unique opportunity to share in the excitement of historical discovery through the fortieth annual Evenings with History lecture series.
The Evenings with History lecture series, sponsored by the University History Institute, features presentations by UALR faculty members and guest speakers sharing their current research and teaching interests. Although these talks are aimed at a general audience, each offers insight into the real workings of historical scholarship. The nationally-recognized series covers a variety of times, areas, and subjects. Many of the presentations illuminate current affairs. The format also allows for questions and discussion.
The six sessions of the 2026-2027 Evenings with History series will be held at the Historic Arkansas Museum (200 E. 3rd Street in downtown Little Rock) on the first Tuesdays of October, December, February, March, and April, and on the second Tuesday of November. Refreshments are served at 7:00 p.m., and the talk begins at 7:30 p.m. For further information about this year’s lectures, please contact us at [email protected].
