Scope and Contents

The Common Hour program is organized by the Office of Events & Summer Programs and takes place on Fridays during the academic year. Speakers and performers are invited from Bowdoin and the wider community. Common Hour provides an opportunity for faculty, students and staff to gather in common spaces across campus and engage together in the ideas of speakers and the presentations of art. Printed materials include flyers and promotional material advertising the Common Hour events as well as the text of some lectures printed from the Bowdoin/Sun online. Audiovisual campus recordings of lectures, performances and debates that are part of the Common Hour program are also included. Topics vary widely, including political commentary; discussion of scientific and technological issues; the work of writers, poets and journalists; philosophical ideas; the visual and performing arts; sports; business and international affairs. For access to audiovisual materials, contact Special Collections.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
