Greater Philadelphia: A New History for the Twenty-First Century

Join us on Thursday, December 18 to welcome Charlene Mires and Howard Gillette for a conversation celebrating Greater Philadelphia: A New History for the Twenty-First Century — a landmark three-volume publication from the University of Pennsylvania Press that redefines the story of the region and its role in shaping the nation.

As Philadelphia prepares to lead the nation in commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence, The Greater Philadelphia Region (Vol. 1); Greater Philadelphia and the Nation (Vol. 2); and Greater Philadelphia and the World (Vol. 3) offer fresh, engaging, richly illustrated, and inclusive retellings of our region’s history from leading scholars and local voices.
