- **Event Description**: Roosevelt Montás, PhD, of Bard College will speak about the role of liberal education in democratic public life at Richter Hall.

Montás was born in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to New York as a teenager, where he attended public schools in Queens, New York. His book Rescuing Socrates: How the Great Books Changed My Life and Why They Matter for a New Generation (Princeton University Press, 2021) reflects on his experiences as a student and then a teacher at Columbia University, explaining how a liberal education transformed his life and why Great Books have the power to speak to people of all backgrounds.

He is also author of Becoming America: Four Documents That Shaped a Nation and Why Their Ideas Still Matter (forthcoming, Princeton University Press, 2026) and coeditor of The Princeton History of American Political Thought (forthcoming, Princeton University Press, 2026).

Montás is the first John and Margaret Bard Professor in Liberal Education and Civic Life at Bard College. Prior to joining Bard, he was director of Columbia’s Center for the Core Curriculum from 2008 to 2018, where he taught moral and political philosophy as well as seminars in American political thought in the Center for American Studies. He is currently director of the Freedom and Citizenship Program at Columbia, which introduces high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds to the Western political tradition through the study of primary texts and helps them prepare competitive applications to college.

This event is free and open to the public.
