Narrative History (virtual)

This event is no longer on sale.

Thursday April 21

6:00 PM  –  7:00 PM

John Demos has won the Bancroft Prize and the Francis Parkman Prize, as well being a finalist for the National Book Award. He began his career as a historian deeply steeped in the methods of social sciences. However, he shifted his work to focus more on the stories of human life and brought the discipline with him towards a narrative history. He moved many and galvanized some with his books but was also an inspiring teacher at Yale who has helped shape many of the next generation of leading scholars. Professor Demos will speak with his former student, Catherine Allgor, about his work, his inspirations, and the scholars who are continuing his legacy.
