Planning an internship in New York City or Westchester this summer? Join Sarah Lawrence College for a virtual information session on Tuesday, April 7, at 7 p.m. ET to learn about two opportunities designed to support and enhance your experience

Marci Shore, Chair in European Intellectual History at the Munk School at the University of Toronto, in conversation with Sarah Lawrence history faculty Philipp Nielsen.

A question many ask with great urgency these days is, “What can we learn from history?” Marci Shore, an intellectual historian focusing on Central and Eastern Europe, has engaged with this question in her academic career and increasingly as a public intellectual. In her dialogue and cooperation with Eastern and Central European intellectuals, Shore herself has become entangled in the region’s politics, most notably in her defense of Ukrainian independence but also of democracy more widely. This engagement is also no longer limited to Europe. Shore comments frequently on the state of politics in the United States. In conversation with Sarah Lawrence History faculty member Philipp Nielsen, Shore will explore what it means to be an engaged historian, what we can learn from history, and how it matters to ourselves, to our societies, and to international relations.
