Nelson is the Robert M. Beren Professor of Government at Harvard University, where he was an undergraduate before earning his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge.
In his most recent book, “The Theology of Liberalism: Political Philosophy and the Justice of God” (2019), Nelson examines modern liberalism, often thought of as developing upon philosopher John Rawls’ theory of fairness for a more secular world after World War II. Rawls envisioned a world of democracies, equal rights and egalitarian economies that could sustain peace in the wake of two world wars.

The Menard Family George Washington Forum presents Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn discussing “The Art of Living” on Thursday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m.
“Dr. Lasch-Quinn’s talk is part of our mission to bring in speakers to challenge students to look critically at the world in which they live,” said Dr. Robert Ingram, history professor and director of the Menard Family George Washington Forum. “In her talk, she will challenge us all to examine our society’s penchant for instant gratification. And I think she will remind us that many good thinkers have gone before us, and they just might have some relevance for us today.”
