Marci Shore, Associate Professor of History

On 27 September 1938, as European leaders pursued negotiations in Munich surrounding Adolf Hitler's demand to annex the Sudetenland, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain addressed the British people. "How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas masks here because of a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing," he said. In 2014 the Donbas became that faraway place. This lecture will address the uses and disadvantages of historical analogies, and explore how the fate of the world is now being decided in Ukraine.

Join the Lillian Goldman Law Library staff for a guided tour of the “Constance Baker Motley: Lady of the Law” exhibit. Drawing on images and personal items from the collection of her family, and from her own words in her autobiography, the exhibition offers a glimpse of Motley, brilliantly at work, from her childhood in New Haven through her career as a Civil Rights attorney, New York Senator, and federal judge. Meet at the front entrance to the Law School. This tour is limited to 25 people; repeated at 10:30 AM.

Indy Burke, Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. Dean of the Yale School of the Environment; Professor of Ecosystem Ecology

Environmental challenges today are more acute than ever, and not likely to decrease with the growing global need for resources to support human society. What is the role of a university in addressing these issues, how is that changing at this particular time in national history, and how is the Yale School of the Environment contributing to solutions?

Four years in the making. Five traditional spaces made new. Five new spaces for making traditions. One hundred and twenty years of history stand behind Yale Schwarzman Center, and we’re excited to open our doors to you. At YSC, new and restored spaces are designed to be focal points of university life. Spaces for meetings, dining, and relaxing provide a host of ways to connect, create, and collaborate within and beyond campus. The YSC Team would like to extend an invitation for you to tour the Center – your Center. During your visit, you’ll be led through the various YSC spaces by a tour guide while you explore our tour mobile website which features original research, archival images, and alumni interviews. Tours will begin at 9:00 and 9:30 am; expect the entire visit will last around 75 minutes. Meet in the Woolsey Rotunda.
