39th Annual Lecture at GHI Washington | Speaker: Ulrike von Hirschhausen (German Historical Institute Washington); Comment: Aviel Roshwald (Georgetown University)
This year's annual lecture will also serve as the inaugural lecture for the new GHI director, Ulrike von Hirschhausen. In her lecture, Hirschhausen will introduce the concept of “frozen conflicts” in the 20th and 21st centuries. She will explain how these conflicts can emerge from disputed de facto states and why the legacy of empire continues to influence the situation today. The lecture will present a new conceptual framework applicable to these conflicts worldwide.
The lecture begins at 6pm, with doors opening at 5:30 pm. The lecture will also be streamed.
