Chat & Chowder: Boston and the Making of a Global City by James O'Connell

Join us for this installment of our popular Chat & Chowder series, featuring Professor of City Planning & Urban Affairs Department at Boston University, James O'Connell where he will discuss his new book, Boston and the Making of a Global City.

Chat & Chowder programs are an excellent opportunity to engage with expert speakers and to network with other globally-oriented participants in an informal environment. Each event features a presentation, audience Q&A, dedicated time for networking, and (of course!) a selection of chowders and beverages.

Thanks to the generous support of The Lowell Institute, Chat & Chowder is now free of charge for all participants (Zoom live-streams remain free as well). We sincerely appreciate The Lowell Institute’s commitment to our mission, as well as the support of our venue, Foley & Lardner LLP.

Please consider helping sustain this work by making a contribution here.

This program will be streamed to Zoom from 6:00 to 7:30. To attend the program virtually, please register for the zoom webinar here.

Advance registration is required. We cannot accommodate walk-ins for the in-person program.
