Dordt to host First Mondays Speaker

Meghan Sullivan will present “God and the Good Life” at Dordt University on Monday, October 2 at 11 a.m. in the B.J. Haan Auditorium as part of the 2023-24 First Mondays Speaker Series. Sullivan is the Wilsey Family college professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and the director of the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study.

Sullivan works on questions about time and ethics and teaches Notre Dame’s very popular "God and the Good Life" course. In 2022, Penguin published a book based on the course, "The Good Life Method."

She is the recipient of Notre Dame’s Joyce Awards for Teaching, the provost’s All-Faculty Team Award, and the City of South Bend’s 40 Under 40 Award.  Sullivan is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Oxford, where she studied as a Rhodes Scholar.

The First Mondays Speaker Series brings thinkers, writers, and cultural leaders to Dordt University to explore ideas that will stretch our imaginations, grow our understanding, and help us re-form our world in God-honoring ways. For those off-campus, watch the lecture on livestream.
