American Foreign Policy: Is History a Useful Guide?
Fredrik Logevall, Professor of History and Vice Provost for International Affairs
Cornell University
It’s been said that those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it but too often leaders who act with history in mind nevertheless repeat it to their disadvantage. This talk will explore how history can be useful, even essential, to understanding the present, while also stressing that knowledge of the past is not enough; it must be supplemented by other approaches.
Brennan Hall, Rose Room 509, Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Free to The University of Scranton Staff, Faculty and Students
