Politics in Our Time: Authoritarian Peril and Democratic Hope in the 21st Century
Gary Gerstle, the 2024–2025 Joy Foundation Fellow, will present this year's Julia S. Phelps Annual Lecture in the Arts and Humanities.
A historian of modern America, Gary Gerstle has written extensively on the intersections of economics and politics and on the tangled relationship between race and nationality. At Radcliffe, he will write a book on the politics of our time and, in particular, on the circumstances that have made authoritarianism so tempting and democracy so fragile in the 21st century.
The Julia S. Phelps Annual Lecture in the Arts and Humanities was established to honor the late Julia S. Phelps, a longtime instructor in the Radcliffe Seminars, and is supported by the generous contributions of her family, friends, and colleagues.
