The Oregon Historical Society “Summer of Citizenship” Series

Abstract

The Oregon Historical Society's 2013 “Summer of Citizenship” lecture series brought together ten of the region's top scholars and civic leaders to speak on various aspects of citizenship, seeking to inform public understanding and debate over citizenship rights and responsibilities with a wide variety of historical and contemporary perspectives. The three talks published in this issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly — by Marcela Mendoza, Andrew H. Fisher, and Kimberly Jensen — are a sampling of that series, offered as both record of the public lectures and documentation of research in progress.
