An indispensable voice of and for this moment, Gessen has a sharp take on our current political climate, recognizing that politics affects every part of our lives—our health, our families, and our democracy. Gessen’s perspective on the history of and outcomes to the modern sociopolitical structures offers a sobering but sharp-witted analysis of what in US society has changed and what’s at stake. Addressing autocrats, gender, and politics, Gessen’s expansive publications underscore our common humanity and the danger of totalitarian regimes that respect no rule of law.
A short, moderated dialogue with journalist Jana Shortal follows the presentation. A pop-up bar will be open in the Main Lobby starting one hour before the lecture.
