Louis Menand

Louis Menand, Harvard’s Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of English and American Literature and Language, and a staff writer for The New Yorker, examines the value of college, looking at higher education as a mechanism for sorting out society’s more intelligent members.

Menand spoke on campus last fall, delivering the talk “What It’s All About” at the 2010 Sarah and James Bowdoin Day ceremony.
