The Donald and Louise Cowan Center invites you to a 2026 Distinguished Lecture Series with Dr. Jason Baxter on "Deep Reading in the Age of Hypertexts." Drawing upon his recent book, Why Literature Still Matters, Dr. Baxter will make the case that in our age of technology, literature is not just still relevant but urgent. 

Dr. Jason Baxter serves as full Professor and Executive Director of the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College. He is the author of nine books, including the best-selling Medieval Mind of C.S Lewis and critically-acclaimed translation of Dante's Comedy. Baxter has written many academic and popular articles, and he frequently makes media appearances ranging from podcasts to EWTN.

Limited Seating please RSVP by Monday, April 20th.
