Talks@EHC: the intersection of history, civic engagement, and community.
Talks@EHC, the Evanston History Center’s discussion series, provides opportunities for Evanstonians to learn together about our city and its people. Through a wide range of topics- presented by authors, scholars, historians, local leaders, artists, and multi-generational residents- audiences explore their shared history and the meaning of community.
Talks@EHC take place in the warm and welcoming setting of the historic Dawes House, as well as at locations in other areas of Evanston, and are often hosted in partnership with other organizations. Each talk includes open dialogue and sharing through Q&A time built into the program. Talks@EHC reflect the diversity of peoples, stories, and perspectives in our City, emphasizing what we can learn from each other. Through Talks@EHC, Evanstonians discover new ways that their own lives and stories connect to the bigger picture of our community, our city, and our world.
