ABOUT THE FORUM NETWORK

The Forum Network is a public media service of WGBH. Our online library contains thousands of video and audio lectures from the world's foremost scholars, authors, artists, scientists, policymakers, and community leaders, available to the public for free.

Lectures hosted on The Forum Network are presented by community organizations and educational institutions from the Boston area and beyond. From science to the humanities, from local to global topics, The Forum Network is committed to providing outstanding educational content for lifelong learners, and to encouraging deeper understanding and civic engagement around the vital issues of our time.

We invite you to learn something new, share your ideas and opinions by commenting on videos, and post content to your favorite social media sites. Subscribe to our podcasts and YouTube channels, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more ways to connect. Dig deeper into your favorite topics by perusing speaker biographies, related lectures and books, transcripts, and downloadable audio, when available.

The Forum Network is currently seeking partnerships with Boston-based cultural, educational, and nonprofit organizations. If your organization is interested in contributing content to The Forum Network, please contact us.

Major support for Forum Network is provided by The Lowell Institute, an organization created to carry out the 1836 bequest of John Lowell Jr., to make free public lectures available to the citizens of Boston and beyond.
