2024 Fall Sczepaniak Lecture

Why World History Needs Rewriting—Constantly

 

Tamin Ansary is an Afghan-American author and public speaker. His books include Destiny Disrupted, a History of the World Through Islamic Eyes, and Games Without Rules, a History of Afghanistan from the Inside Looking Out. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, he published West of Kabul, East of New York, a memoir about straddling a cultural fault line worldwide. His presentation will draw on his latest publication, The Invention of Yesterday, which offers a bird’s eye view of world history as a fabric woven of narratives and explores ways we might construct a world-historical narrative for this global age.
