Julian of Norwich, a medieval English mystic, offers great insight on faith and hope. Come to a lecture on Julian by Professor Julia Lamm from Georgetown University.

Julia A. Lamm received her B.A. in History and in Philosophy from The College of St. Catherine, and her A.M. in Religious Studies and Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Chicago.

On the faculty of Georgetown University since 1989, she is a recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (Germany), and is founding Director of the James M. and Margaret H. Costan Lecture in Early Christianity at Georgetown.
