When Mary Elise Sarotte speaks at this year's Jamison Lecture on April 11, you should listen.

Not because Sarotte wrote the award-winning book on events that have led to a new cold war and a hot war in Ukraine, Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate. Not because of her impressive academic credentials, or because she has lived in Berlin and visited Moscow.

Listen because Sarotte's area of expertise is, now more than ever, vitally important to understanding the world. And because she knows of what she speaks.

The 2024 Jamison Lecture begins at 7 p.m. on April 11 at Phyllis J. Bridges Auditorium in the Student Union at Hubbard Hall. The event is open to the public and admission is free. Click here to register.
