The 2024 Nora and Edward Ryerson Lecture was presented by Jonathan Lear, the John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor, Committee on Social Thought and in the Department of Philosophy.

Delivered on April 2, 2024, at Friedman Hall, Rubenstein Forum. Lear's talk, titled "Gratitude, Mourning, Hope and Other Forms of Thought," explored the complexities of expressing gratitude. Lear is a distinguished scholar of philosophy and ethics, and his research examines how we make sense of who we are and our ethical obligations to each other. The Ryerson Lectures originated through a bequest from Nora and Edward Ryerson.
