Pulitzer Hall, School of Journalism

The Committee on Global Thought invites you to a Teach-In, as part of the series, “Columbia Teach-Ins: Navigating the Crisis Together,” co-organized with the Center for Constitutional Governance, Columbia Law School; the Dart Center For Journalism and Trauma’ the Eric H. Holder Initiative; and the Columbia Chapter of the AAUP. This event will take place on April 18, at 2:00pm in Pulitzer Hall, School of Journalism.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF AUTHORITARIANISMS AND THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR EMERGENCE? WHAT’S GLOBAL AND WHAT’S LOCAL ABOUT THE POLITICAL PRESENT? 

The Committee moderators, Rosalind Morris and Katharina Pistor welcome panelists Noam Elcott, Federico Finchelstein, Atul Kohli, Kim Scheppele, Mark Mazower, Wijciech Sadurski, with special guest, M. Gessen, to speak about Weimar, Latin America, India, Hungary, Poland, and comparative analysis more generally.
