The Cold War (1946-1989) shaped world politics for two generations and cast a long shadow that continues to fall upon everything from diplomatic relations to cultural expressions in Europe and around the globe. A faculty panel will offer reassessments of the Cold War from the vantage point of nearly three decades of subsequent history. The participants will be Randall Stone, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Skalny Center, Matthew Lenoe, Professor and Chair of History, Lisa Jakelski, Associate Professor of Musicology, Eastman School of Music, and Annamaria Orla-Bukowska, Associate Professor of Sociology, Jagiellonian University, Kraków and Skalny Visiting Professor.
Free and open to the public.
