What does it truly mean to be free in an era of rising authoritarianism, disinformation, and democratic backsliding? Historian and bestselling author Timothy Snyder takes the stage with journalist Carol Off to discuss the themes of his latest book, On Freedom, offering a powerful analysis of the forces that threaten liberty—and the actions we must take to reclaim it. Drawing on history, politics, and philosophy, Snyder will challenge us to think critically about the structures that shape our lives and the role we all play in defending democracy.
There will be a Timothy Snyder Book Signing for half an hour after this talk.
