Past Themes
Every other year, the Wayne Morse Center selects a theme of inquiry to focus its activities. The Advisory Board selects themes that are in the tradition of Senator Morse, build on the strength of the UO faculty, with topics that are timely and important, and multidisciplinary in nature. The center does not attempt a comprehensive analysis but instead hosts distinguished guests and convenes activities to complement these visits.
