History Lecture Series returns in January 2022 with three presentations by UW history faculty on global capitalism. Our speakers will cover everything from financial crises to tea to the Jaffa orange. This year, each talk will be broadcast online for viewers all over the world and will be followed by a live Q&A hosted by Professor Charity Urbanski. The series will conclude with Professor James Gregory moderating a panel discussion with the three lecturers, allowing viewers to connect global histories of capitalism to the problems we face today as a society.
Thanks to generous support from the UW Alumni Association and the Friends of History Fund, registration is free again this year.
Join us for one or all lectures in this four-part series.
