Maggie Jackson will present an endowed lecture at Bridgewater College on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. A book signing will follow the lecture.
Jackson will speak about the subject of her recent book, Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure. It explores why we should seek not-knowing in an era of flux and angst. Nominated for a National Book Award and named an Amazon Top New Release, Uncertain was selected as a top book of 2023 and 2024 multiple times, including as one of the 25 best non-fiction titles of 2024 according to the Next Big Idea Club led by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Dan Pink and Adam Grant. Lauded as “surprising and practical” (Gretchen Rubin) and “remarkable and persuasive” (Library Journal), Uncertain has been featured in media worldwide and is set to appear in multiple languages.
The endowed lecture is sponsored by the Anna B. Mow Symposium on Comparative Religious Ethics.
