October 14, 2022January 8, 2023 By Lloyd Gardner

“Walt” Let me begin by talking about a picnic in one of Madison’s beautiful parks near a lake in midsummer 1957.  It was ideal weather and the three of us (Walt LaFeber, Tom McCormick, and myself) were talking with our wives about our graduate school experience, the profession, and the unknown future.  I was surprised…

Stanley Hoffmann’s long career in political science and international relations has been celebrated in several special issues of scholarly journals and a Festschrift.[2] It is important for a discipline to honor its greatest exponents.

December 17, 2021January 8, 2023 By Philip Zelikow, Niall Ferguson, Francis J. Gavin, Anne Karalekas, Daniel Sargent

For a half-century, from 1959 until his death in 2009, Ernest May was in the front rank of historians studying the interactions of the United States with the world.  He left an enormous and fascinatingly readable body of work and touched many lives.  That is perhaps why this forum stimulated such a remarkable and contrasting…

Forum 29 on the 2021 German Elections

October 17, 2021October 20, 2021 By Michael C. Behrent, Eric Langenbacher, Stephen F. Szabo, Sarah Wiliarty
