If you are in the area on Thursday evening, September 27, join us for the 2018 Messiah College American Democracy Lecture. This year’s lecturer is Nancy Tomes of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In 2017, Tomes was awarded the Bancroft Prize in American History for her book Remaking the American Patient: How Madison Avenue and Modern Medicine Turned Patients Into Consumers. Tomes’s American Democracy Lecture is titled “Doctor Shoppers: From Problem Patients to Model Citizens.” The lecture will take place at 7:00pm in the Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performing Arts, Parmer Hall on the campus of Messiah College. Free tickets are required. To reserve tickets call 717-691-6036 or reserve tickets online at messiah.edu/tickets.
