Lapham's Quarterly Relaunches Under Bard College's Stewardship
The celebrated journal of history and ideas, Lapham's Quarterly, will relaunch in 2025 under the stewardship of Bard College and its Hannah Arendt Center. This partnership ensures the journal's continuation after the passing of its founder, Lewis H. Lapham, and marks a rare second chance for a literary journal. Bard College will inherit the journal's assets and integrate it into its mission of fostering critical inquiry and dialogue. The relaunch includes plans to distribute free copies to incarcerated readers through the Bard Prison Initiative, expanding access to ideas and literature. This collaboration not only preserves a valuable intellectual legacy but also underscores the importance of historical reflection in our times.
