Join us for Loyola Marymount University's Global Conversations Series. Presented by the Office of the Provost, the Marymount Institute for Faith, Culture, and the Arts, and the Division of Student Affairs, the series brings distinguished scholars, artists, activists, writers, entrepreneurs, and creative leaders to LMU to engage, challenge, and inspire our community through meaningful dialogue. The Global Conversations Series is pleased to welcome Jori Lewis, an award-winning journalist and author of Slaves for Peanuts: A Story of Conquest, Liberation, and a Crop That Changed History and A Natural History of the Spirits. Lewis will speak on Nov. 16, 2026 from 4–5:30 p.m. in University Hall's Ahmanson Auditorium (UHall 1000) at Loyola Marymount University.
