  • Tuesday, October 28, noon Pacific, 3 pm Eastern, please join me and Marci Shore for a Hair-Raising Halloween Happy Hour and Costume Party. Shore, an intellectual historian who wrote The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution, and whose brilliant insights often appear in my work, will be telling us spook-tacular tales on how to topple dictators. Costumes optional, but I encourage you to please join in the fun for a memorable mash up of how to defeat monsters.

More on our guest here:

Dr Marci Shore is an American Professor of Intellectual History at the University of Toronto. She left her position at Yale University in the US – with her husband, the historian Timothy Snyder – in August 2024. She is an expert in European history and the author of The Ukrainian Night, and Caviar and Ashes.

If you would like to take a crash course on some of Shore’s recent work, here are some links:
