Thinking Historically: Identity Politics to Ethical Action

John Toews, professor of History and director of Comparative History of Ideas, gives the 31st Annual Faculty Lecture. Since 1976, this award has honored current or emeriti faculty whose research, scholarship, or art has been widely recognized by their peers and whose achievements have had a substantial impact on their profession, on the research or performance of others, and perhaps on society as a whole. It acknowledges outstanding creativity and scholarship by University faculty. Recipients deliver the Annual Faculty Lecture to inform the University community about his or her work.
