Min Jin Lee, author and writer-in-residence at Amherst College, presented the DeMott Lecture to the incoming class of 2023. In preparation for this event, students were given a copy of her novel Pachinko. The DeMott Lecture, established in 2005 by Alan P. Levenstein ’56 in honor of Benjamin DeMott, seeks to expose incoming students to an engagement with the world marked by originality of thought coupled with direct social action, and to inspire intellectual participation in issues of social and economic inequality, racial and gender bias, and political activism.
