Lecture:  History Shall Shift: The Meaning of a Second Trump Presidency for the United States and Its Place in the World  

Richard Tempest, UIUC Slavic Languages & Literatures

Friday, December 13, 2024. 12:00 - 1:30 p.m.

Location: Osher Classroom and Zoom

 

Professor Tempest will be examining the likely and possible outcomes of the US presidential election. His central argument is that any discussion of these issues will be inadequate unless it is set in the context of global developments from Brexit in 2016 to the recent decline in Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s political fortunes.

 

Lecturer:  Richard Tempest is a Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He was educated at the University of Oxford and is a former Director of the Russian, East European and Eurasian Center at Illinois. His interests include Russian and world history and culture, military history, and the political science of the body. Tempest is the author of Overwriting Chaos: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Fictive Worlds (Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2019) as well as a campus fantasy adventure novel, Golden Bone (Moscow: NLO, 2004), which he wrote in Russian and published under the penname Roland Harrington.
