Besides the Blond lecture, the Tocqueville Forum offers the following lecture by Dr. Esolen:

4th Annual Carroll Lecture: Catholicism: Last Hope for a Dying Culture
Anthony Esolen, Professor of English, Providence College

Since the inception of the Tocqueville Forum, we have sponsored a yearly lecture in honor of Bishop John Carroll, S.J., our distinguished founder, and his dedication to creating a Catholic institution that contributes to the political, cultural and educational life of America. In this spirit, Professor Esolen gave a lecture in which he sought to answer the following questions: What is culture? Why do we now possess only the remnants of a culture? And, what are the resources that the Catholic church possesses which could kindle culture anew in the West?
