Annual History Department Events
Each year the History Department offers the following lectures thanks to the support of donors and friends of the department. The events are free to the public, and we encourage those interested to attend each lecture.
O. Meredith Wilson Lecture
The Wilson Lecture was created at the University of Utah in 1976 under the auspices of the Tanner Lecture Trust at the request of Obert C. Tanner. Its namesake, O. Meredith Wilson, was a professor of history at the University of Utah and the University of Chicago before going on to serve as President of the University of Oregon, the University of Minnesota, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.

Vern & Bonnie Bullough Lecture in the History of Sex & Gender
The Vern and Bonnie Lecture in the History of Gender and Sexuality was created by Vern L. Bullough, who recently passed away on June 21, 2006, in California. Dr. Bullough wrote extensively on sexuality and medicine; his first wife, Bonnie Bullough, worked with him on these subjects as well. Dr. Bullough was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1928. He earned an undergraduate degree in history from the University of Utah in 1951, and he received his doctorate in the history of medicine and science from the University of Chicago. Dr. Bullough taught at California State and SUNY Buffalo, where he served as dean. He is survived by his wife, Gwen W. Brewer and his children.
