Event Description: "NCPH is hosting a free program, “The Russian Invasion of Ukraine: How Can Public Historians Respond?” next Thursday, March 10 at 3:00 pm Eastern. NCPH member Susan Smith-Peter, Professor of History and Director of the Advanced Certificate in Public History at the College of Staten Island/CUNY, has published widely on Russia and Ukraine for academic and general audiences. She’ll discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin’s misuse of history as an attempt to justify his unprovoked attack on Ukraine, and then lead a discussion on how public historians can respond to the situation, both collectively and individually. Public historians need to play a key role in making sure that factual information reaches the public and that misinformation is effectively countered.
