David Wengrow gives Stanford University Distinguished Lectures (April 2023)

The Stanford Archaeology Center invites prominent archaeologists from around the world to be in residence for a week as a Distinguished Lecturer. During their residency, the Distinguished Lecturer gives two lectures and meets with faculty, postdoctoral scholars and students. Distinguished Lecturers are nominated by Stanford Archaeology Center faculty and selected by the Director.

David Wengrow will be in residency in Stanford later this month giving lectures entitled 'Archaeology and Forensic Architecture: A New Collaboration' and also 'The Origins of Inequality'. 

David has recently been in New York giving a presentation on The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, his bestselling book with the late David Graeber, and has previously been invited to reflect on the ideas stemming from the book, and his new collaboration on Forensic Architecture, at two literature festivals in India as well as special events in Chicago, Edinburgh and Italy (Museo Egizio and Biennale Democrazia, both in Turin).
