OAH Distinguished Lecturers are scholars and storytellers, uniquely qualified to bring historical context to today’s most important issues. The Distinguished Lectureship Program, a speakers bureau devoted to U. S. history, features more than 150 historians who study and speak on American women's experiences. Invite one of our speakers to virtually engage with your community by booking a recorded or live online lecture.
