Why You Should Read Aeschylus with Dr. N Susan Laehn

Join the #McConnellCenter as we host Dr. N Susan Laehn. and she attempts to convince you to read the works of the Father of Tragedy - Aeschylus. Dr. Laehn currently serves as a part-time faculty member at the University of Louisville, Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Iowa State University, and is a Non-Resident Fellow at the McConnell Center at UofL. She is co-editor of Welcoming the Other: Student, Stranger, and Divine (Lexington Books, 2021), and she has published in Social Science Quarterly and Political Research Quarterly. Her teaching and research interests include ancient and modern political theory, ethics and politics, applied political theory, American government, and research methods. .

We all know we need to read more and there are literally millions of books on shelves with new ones printed every day. How do we sort through all the possibilities to find the book that is just right for us now?

Well, the McConnell Center is bringing authors and experts to inspire us to read impactful and entertaining books that might be on our shelves or in our e-readers, but which we haven’t yet picked up.

We hope you learn a lot in the following podcast and we hope you might be inspired to pick up one or more of the books we are highlighting this year at the University of Louisville’s McConnell Center.
