Dear Colleagues,

The Department of History at the John F. Kennedy Institute is hosting an inter-departmental panel discussion for students and faculty in response to recent political unrest in the United States (see full agenda attached).

The online event will focus on the role of racial/gendered/symbolic violence in both contemporary and historical political discourse and will be held on Wednesday, April 28, 16:15 - 18:00.

We are also delighted to announce the participation of two wonderful guest
scholars:

Dr. Treva Lindsey of Ohio State University, who will speak on our second panel "violence amid continuity" and Dr. Elahe Haschemi-Yekami of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, who will deliver a keynote lecture on the toppling of slaveholder statutes immediately following the event.

Please do send your R.S.V.P. along with questions for the panelists to Robert Benson at robert.benson@wzb.eu before Monday, April 26.
