St. Norbert College will host Nicholas Carr as part of its four-part Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy Lecture Series on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m. The lecture will take place at the Fort Howard Theater in the F. K. Bemis International Conference Center on the college campus. It is free and open to the public.
Carr is the third guest of the 2018-19 Killeen Lecture Series, which focuses on community and technology, and will present the lecture, “The Myth of the Global Village: How Technology Divides Us.” Carr is a New York Times bestselling author on technology, economics and culture. His books have been translated into more than 25 languages. He is currently the Richmond visiting professor at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.

Established in 1984, the Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy stresses the importance of theology and philosophy in a Catholic liberal arts education, highlighting the commitment of St. Norbert College to provide an education that is personally, intellectually and spiritually challenging. Named after Abbot Sylvester Michael Killeen, O.Praem., chancellor of the college from 1967 to 1970, the Killeen Chair provides a fuller understanding of theological and philosophical issues by bringing scholars to campus in fields ranging from biology and psychology to economics and political science.
