  • Firebrands of Anti-Modernity: Populist Elitism in the United States and the Russian Federation

    Recent years have witnessed a growing affinity between radicalized right-wing movements in the United States and Russia, countries that have often viewed each other as intractable foes. This lecture will examine ethnonationalist movements and anti-globalist opinion-makers in both countries, with particular attention to justifications for the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and attitudes to Christian nationalism, LGBTQ+ identities, race, and performative identity.

  • The Home I Worked to Make: Voices from the New Syrian Diaspora

    In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. In her new book, Wendy Pearlman (Northwestern University) draws upon hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade to probe an intimate and universal question. What is home? Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home.
