Dr. Aaron Lawler is an assistant professor of humanities at Waubonsee Community College, and has had nearly twenty years experience as an educator. He is part anthropologist, part experimenter, part storyteller, and part philosopher, all of which fuel his passion for learning, education, and the humanities. As a Road Scholar for Illinois Humanities, Aaron hopes to pay forward the incredible wisdom and life-changing ideas that his mentors shared with him. Lawler uses books by popular Illinois authors to explore common philosophical questions about self and purpose and help audiences reflect on their own personal stories.

He serves on two elected boards: the Kaneland District 302 School Board, and the WTTW Channel 11 Community Board. He is a researcher at Chicago's Field Museum, and a lifelong member of the National Geographic Society.
