October 23 Lunch N Learn: Jordan Landes

Jordan Landes is the curator of the Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College, specializing in Quaker history with a focus on the trans-Atlantic Quaker community during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Although she calls herself a “lifelong student of Quaker History”, her deep expertise spans the religious, social, and cultural impact of Quakers during this period. She has spent her career preserving and interpreting key historical documents that shed light on the faith and global connections of early Quakers.

Join Jordan and explore the history of the Quakers and how their values shaped local and trans-Atlantic communities. She’ll highlight the historical context of the Quaker faith, its social and cultural impact, and its influence.
