Public Lecture with Yanni Kotsonis on the Greek Revolution and the Violent Birth of Nationalism

The History Department invites you to hear Yanni Kotsonis, associate professor in the departments of History and of Russian and Slavic Studies at New York University, speak about the Greek Revolution. In this lecture, he traces how something new emerged from an imperial mosaic of myriad languages, religions, cultures, and localism: the world's first ethnic nation-state, one that was born from the destruction and the creation of whole peoples, and which set the stage for the modern age of nationalism that was to come.

Co-sponsored by the Dean Rusk International Program, the Public Lectures Committee, Russian Studies, and the Jewish Studies Lecture Series, this event is free and open to the public. No tickets required.
