ASK a Logger: International Affairs, Government, and Law Panel - Wed 3/3

 

The March 3 panel features alumni who represent a diversity of majors (P&G, International Relations, Business, English), and who are all working in fields that may be of particular interest to P&G students.

These are Logger alumni who have volunteered to share their stories and insights in order to benefit current students. And they are wonderful individuals for students to get to know.

David Perry's Lecture: February 24

 

Zoom Link
Meeting ID: 997 5328 6872
Passcode: 082581

This will be an informal conversation where students can ask Dr. Perry about his work as a journalist and public historian. 

Description: Over the last few years, white supremacists bearing medieval symbols have both marched and committed mass murder around the Anglophone world and throughout Europe. These manifestations of hate, though, are just the tip of a very ugly iceberg. David Perry, journalist and medieval historian, has spent the last few years tracking the connections between medievalism and hate on sites like 8chan, 4chan, and the Neo-Nazi website Stormfront. He argues that we need to understand even the most seemingly innocuous medieval chatter in these spaces as part of a new, dangerous, phenomenon to which everyone studying the medieval past must be ready to respond.
