Past Event
Migration, terrorism, colonialism, and multinational capitalism: the forces transforming today's world shaped the life and work of Joseph Conrad at the dawn of the twentieth century. In a brilliant new interpretation of one of Britain's greatest authors, Harvard historian Maya Jasanoff describes Conrad as a prophet of globalization. Join her for a compelling blend of history, biography, and travelogue that explores Conrad's world as a harbinger of our own.
