Join us for this special virtual program with acclaimed Yale historian and New York Times bestseller Timothy Snyder, one of the “leading interpreter of our dark times” (The Guardian), as he explores the concept of freedom, what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s worth fighting for both in the United States and abroad.
With On Tyranny,in his Substack Thinking of…, and now with On Freedom, Snyder strikes a resonant chord and engages us in startling and accessible reinterpretations of the world around us and how rising authoritarian movements are hastening political collapse. How should we embrace, think about, and act on freedom moving forward? What are the “habits of mind” that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish: a project at the forefront of minds across the globe? The discussion will be moderated by WorldOregon’s Tim DuRoche with award-winning journalist-author and podcast producer Leah Sottile (When the Moon Turns to Blood and Bundyville).
Event registrants will receive a link to join the program and a 20%-off coupon code to purchase Timothy Snyder’s On Freedom and/or On Tyranny from Broadway Books.
