Today, Professor Manisha Sinha‘s interview with Salon, an online news website, was published. The article, which can be read here, connects Professor Sinha’s work to the modern day and delves into her book “The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic, Reconstruction 1860-1920”.

Later this month, Professor Sergio Luzzatto will be delivering the Virgilio Lectures at the University of Chicago, sponsored by the Romance Languages and Literatures Department.  He will be giving three different lectures, on April 16, April 18, and April 22, on “Primo Levi and His Auschwitz Companions: Between History and Literature.” The lectures will draw on his recently published book Primo Levi e i suoi compagni (Donzelli, 2024).  While the lectures will be in Chicago, they can be followed virtually on line as well. Full details can be found on the U Chicago website:  https://events.uchicago.edu/event/246646-virgilio-lecture-series-with-sergio-luzzatto-.

 

Congratulations to Professor Luzzatto on this important new book, and major honor.
