The University of Illinois Springfield Political Science Department presents the third annual Wepner Symposium on the Lincoln Legacy and Contemporary Scholarship, to be held Friday, Oct. 19 and Saturday, Oct. 20. Portions of the symposium will take place on the UIS campus and the Old State Capitol in downtown Springfield.
The symposium brings together scholars with diverse intellectual backgrounds, from political science to history and economics, and also seeks to bridge the gap between K-12 and university education. This year's theme is "Emancipation: What Came Before, How It Worked, and What Followed". All events are free and open to the general public.
The symposium was featured by the State Journal-Register on October 17, 2012.
