Wortman Distinguished Professor of History, Kenyon College.The address will be followed by a panel of Wendy Singer, Abhijit Varde, Mytheli Sreenivas, and Andrew Phillip, with Ila Nagar moderating. Click here for more details and tickets to the event. 180 Hagerty Hall Center for Ethics and Human Values cehv@osu.edu America/New_York public
