Note that this seminar will not be broadcasted, but recorded.
Join us as we welcome back Lea Ypi, professor and award-winning author of the book Free: Coming of Age at the End of History. In this memoir, Ypi tells the story ofgrowing up in Albania during the rule and collapse of communism.
Now she returns to present her new book, Indignity: A Life Reimagined. In this work, she investigates the truth about her family's past by tracing the steps of her grandmother through the vanished world of Ottoman aristocracy, the making of modern Greece and Albania, a global financial crisis, the horrors of war and the dawn of communism in the Balkans.
Indignity is both about Ypi's personal journey, and about survival in an age of extremes, about what we can truly know about those closest to us, and about the moral authority with which we can judge the acts of previous generations.
Welcome to a conversation with Lea Ypi and director Gustaf Arrhenius, professor of practical philosophy.
