Liberty Lectures
Liberty Common School hosts guests throughout the year for Liberty Lectures.
These educational events explore history, civic life, public policy, and the forces shaping the world today. Open to the broader community, Liberty Lectures are designed to inform, challenge, and inspire thoughtful engagement with enduring ideas and contemporary issues.
New lectures are added throughout the year. Please check back regularly for upcoming events.
Dr. Kate Watkins, State Demographer
As the state’s chief authority on population data, Dr. Watkins leads analysis of how changes in age, migration, housing, workforce, and regional growth are transforming Colorado’s communities. Her work informs policymakers, educators, business leaders, and local governments across the state, helping them understand not only where Colorado has been, but where it is headed.
This lecture will explore key demographic shifts currently underway in Colorado, examine how these trends affect education, infrastructure, economic opportunity, and civic life, and consider what they may mean for the next generation of Coloradans.
