Thursday 21 April 2022, Wolfensohn Hall, The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ
Featuring panelists Patrick Geary (IAS), Kim Lane Scheppele (Princeton University), Alice Isabella Sullivan (Tufts University), and Angelos Chaniotis (IAS), with moderator Suzanne Conklin Akbari (IAS)
Authoritative and popular voices have called upon the lessons of history to justify military actions in Ukraine, as well as to argue against them. What is the role of history—and the role of historians—in this political conversation whose painful, human impact continues to increase day by day? IAS’s School of Historical Studies hosts a panel of experts on the history of the region, from antiquity to the present day, asking how the study of the past can inform our understanding of current events as well as point the way toward possible futures.
