In his wide-ranging and provocative lecture, “Reckoning with History: Why Our Past is Political,” Professor McCarthy will make a compelling argument for the importance of engaging with the politics of history. Drawing on his extensive scholarship and activism, he will explore why the politics of history is not only a vital tradition in the United States but also a moral obligation for all engaged citizens.
