Description: This lecture is part of the Eurasia States and Societies: Past and Present lecture series convened by Alexia Bloch, Department of Anthropology, and Lisa Sundstrom, Department of Political Science.

This brand new lecture series developed from an earlier lively but informal interdisciplinary discussion group of local faculty members and graduate students from the humanities and social sciences. Featuring talks by political scientists, anthropologists, historians, and an independent documentary filmmaker, this series will explore themes of how the past influences the present and future of the post-Communist Eurasian region, the role of memory in shaping contemporary identities, and the evolving nature of states in the region.

Future lecture series dates include: Nov 15, Jan 24, Feb 28, and March 28.
