UTA History announces the 55th Annual Webb Lectures
The dawn of flight set in motion wide-ranging revolutions that fundamentally transformed our relationship with the natural world and subsequently shaped the course of world history. From transportation and military affairs to international relations and domestic politics, business and economics, literature and the arts, the “conquest of the air” altered every arena of human activity. Today, aviation is an integral component of contemporary life; its contributions so commonplace and widespread, that it is easy to take for granted this most remarkable technology.
In recognition of flight’s enduring significance, the 55th Annual Webb Lecture Series brings together a group of international scholars to shed light on overlooked, but no less consequential, aspects of the aeronautical past. Through individual investigations of the differing ways aviation has evolved across time and place, their expertly informed presentations demonstrate the culture of flight to be a universal touchstone of the human experience.
