Brown said the conversation with Clinton will focus on leadership, global politics in the 21st century, creative writing and other topics. Clinton was originally scheduled to speak at the Shearer Lecture on March 19, 2020, but it was first postponed – and subsequently canceled – due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s early onset at the time.

The April 26 event will be held both in-person and online, Brown said. It is free for the public to attend, but registration is required. Also, attendees must comply with Brown’s COVID-19 guidelines during the event.
