Tan, a widely acclaimed best-selling author, will speak on her many books, all of which have shone light on the human experience from fresh perspectives.
Co-chaired by Connie Duncan and Andy Pollock, this year’s Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities is the 29th consecutive year that Humanities Nebraska has brought an outstanding national speaker to Nebraska to give a free public talk on topics related to the humanities. It will also kick off the 37th year of the E.N. Thompson Forum lecture series. Prior to Amy Tan’s free public talk, the 2024 Sower Award in the Humanities will be presented to Anne M. Hubbard during Humanities Nebraska’s benefit reception and dinner at Embassy Suites. The Sower Award honors an individual who has made a significant contribution to the public understanding of the humanities in Nebraska.
