Description

Recording of a lecture delivered on October 14, 2022, by Angel Parham as part of the Formal Lecture Series.



Ms. Parham is an associate professor of Sociology and Senior Fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia.



She offers this description of her lecture: "One of the great gifts of antiquity is that its writers provide a window for us into ways of seeing the world that differ from what we take for granted today. In this lecture we consider how the chronicles and stories of Herodotus frame ways of thinking about difference and belonging that provide insight into human societies both past and present."
